Broke on the Break

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

With the Brasilia Room emptied out for the last 20-minute break, we saw two players still seated and engaged in a hand at least five minutes after the room had cleared.

Eliyahu Levy made a large bet on the {A-}{2-}{7-} flop, and his opponent withdrew deep into the tank to mull his options. Eventually, the player elected to shove his stack forward for an all-in move, but he was visibly dismayed when Levy quickly verbalized a call.

The player tabled {K-}{K-}, but his power play had failed to push Levy off of {A-}{J-}. The turn and river offered no help to the cowboys, and the player earned the ignominious honor of being eliminated during the break.
