Levy Drops a Bit, Gains a Bit
We've been fortunate enough to see a few Adam Levy double ups today and that trend has continued.
This time, though, it came after he lost about half of his stack. With the board reading 
and about 45,000 in the pot, an opponent checked to Levy and he fired 20,000. When his bet was called Levy showed 
, but his opponent rivered a better two pair with 
, dropping Levy's stack to 23,400.
The next hand, after the under-the-gun player limped in, Levy jammed for 23,200 from the cutoff. He was called by the player on the button, leading to folds from the rest of the table.

The board ran out 
, bringing Levy right back in the game.

Level 14
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Keith Crowder is up over the chip average after dragging a good pot a moment ago.
Before the flop, the small blind limped in, and Keith Crowder raised to 5,600 from the big. The small blind was about to reraise to 15,000, but as soon as his hand crossed the betting line, Crowder announced, "All in," and the small blind pulled his hand back. The floor was called, and they essentially ruled that Crowder acted out of turn. They allowed the small blind to take his raise back, and he instead called to see a flop.
The dealer spread out 
, and the small blind checked. Crowder continued out with another 10,000 chips. His opponent called, and they both checked through the 
turn. On the river, the cued a leading bet of 12,000 from the small blind, and Crowder instantly flicked the calling chips from his stack.
The small blind showed 
, but Crowder's 
had that out-kicked. The pot goes to Crowder, and it moves him up to about 85,000.
Here Comes Dwyte Pilgrim!
Level 14
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
A three-way all in! It was Steve Zolotow as the shortest stack in the pot, all in for about 33,000 with . The biggest stack in the hand had both players covered, but the worst of it with . Pilgrim had 37,400 chips, and he was all in and ahead of both players with 
.
The 
flop was a big sweat for the two shorter stacks as the covering player flopped his flush draw. The turn and river were both red, though, and the and 
locked up the triple up for Pilgrim. He's shot all the way up to about 110,000 now, sending Zolotow out in the process.

Out of Gas
Level 14
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Allen Kessler has been at or under 20,000 chips for the vast majority of the day. That count is now zero.
With just about 16,000 chips left, Kessler shoved his 
under the gun. He found an unwanted call from an opponent with 
, and a board full of blanks has rendered "Chainsaw" silent for the rest of today.
Nadya Problems
Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
Nadya Magnus is out after two consecutive pots went south for her. On the first one, she got her money in with pocket queens on a jack-high flop. An opponent called with just ace-ten, promptly spiking his ace on the turn to take most of the lady's stack.
A moment later, Magnus shoved her remainder into the pot from late position with 
, running her marginal hand into a player with pocket sevens. No help on board for Magnus means she'll get an early night out on the town.
It Happened in New Orleans
Level 13
: 700/1,400, 200 ante
From what we understand, Kyle Bowker just five-bet shoved his pocket kings into an opponent with pocket aces. We didn't actually see it happen, but Bowker made the mistake of telling the story to Matt Waxman.
"Hey, let's tell the guys from PokerNews," we heard Waxman announce as he walked toward us with an expression of pure delight on his face. "Tell 'em how Kyle Bowker just six-bet shoved kings into aces. In New Orleans. Make sure you put that."
"It doesn't matter where it was," Bowker said, fighting off the frustration. "And I five-bet."
"In New Orleans," Waxman repeated. "Make sure you put that it was in New Orleans.
