Level 21 : Blinds 15,000/25,000, 25,000 ante

Roy Kim raised to 65,000 under the gun and Russ Dunlevy called in the big blind.

Kim continued for 25,000 on the J♦4♦6♣ flop and Dunlevy called. Dunlevy then led out for 26,000 on the 4♥ turn, and Kim called.

Dunlevy checked to Kim on the A♣ river, and he bet 235,000. Dunlevy leaned back in his seat and spent several minutes muttering to himself as he considered the decision.

"Floor! This is not a drill!" Justin Arnwine yelled out as he called the clock.

"Alright, I call. You probably got me," Dunlevy said, calling even before the tournament official arrived. He showed A♥Q♠ for top pair.

"Are you kidding me?" Kim said, tossing A♦2♦ into the muck.

"I'm okay with the Broadway show," Arnwine said to Dunlevy.

"You think that was acting?" Dunlevy replied.

Venkatesan checked to Dunlevy once more on the 5♦ river, and Dunlevy moved all in. Venkatesan took a minute as he considered the decision for his last 710,000, but he eventually folded.

"Show me," he said to Dunlevy, who turned over A♠8♥.

"It was my only shot," Dunlevy said.

Russ Dunlevy raised to 50,000 in the hijack and Hamid Izadi called in the big blind.

The river was the 6♦ and Izadi led out for 250,000. "Wasn't sure you had it in you. What do you have, nine-seven?" Dunlevy said as he called. Izadi indeed turned over 9♦7♦ for a rivered straight, and Dunlevy mucked A♠K♠.

"I let that happen," Dunlevy added after the hand.
