David Walasinski raises to 150,000 from under the gun. Action folds around to Levy in the small blind who thinks it over for at least a minute and a half before making the call.

Walasinski and Levy see a flop of {A-Diamonds} {9-Spades} {2-Clubs}. Levy check-calls a 175,000 bet from Walasinski.

The turn is the {9-Diamonds} and after a check from Levy, Walasinski bets 300,000. Levy calls again.

The river brings the {8-Diamonds} and Levy checks for a third time. Walasinski moves all in for 565,000 and Levy folds.

Walasinski tables {Q-Hearts} {10-Diamonds} for just queen high.

Walasinski - 1,800,000
Levy - 1,160,000
