Levy Chipping Up

With the board showing {A-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}, Steven Levy’s opponent checked, Levy bet 550, and his opponent called. The river then came the {4-Hearts}, and Levy’s opponent bet 200, leaving himself just 525 behind.

Levy thought a bit, then called, showing {A-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}. His aces were good, and he’s now up to 7,500 as we near the end of Level 2.
