. We'll infer that Jonathan Aguiar was the preflop raiser based on his under-the-gun position, but he checked on fourth street. His lone opponent, Gavin Smith stuck out a bet of 2,125, and Aguiar flicked in the call.
That brought them to the

“You have, like, four-seven?” Aguiar half-asked. “Or the deuce-four? Must be nice to have one of those stray fours.” It was another couple minutes of torture in the tank for Aguiar, but he eventually uncapped his cards and returned them to the dealer.

. It was the winner; Levy mucked down to 21,000 while Powell boosts his stack up to 34,500.
