Laurynas Levinskas
Laurynas Levinskas

Jeff Trudeau raised from early position and Laurynas Levinskas called on the button.

The flop came {5-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Diamonds} and Trudeau checked to Levinskas who bet roughly the size pot of the pot. Trudeau called to see the {K-Spades} turn and checked to Levinskas, who bet 930,000. Trudeau took almost two minutes before sliding in a call.

The river was the {Q-Hearts} and Trudeau checked. Levinskas thought around twenty seconds before shoving all in for 3,300,000. This time, Trudeau needed just a minute before deciding on a call.

Laurynas Levinskas: {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}
Jeff Trudeau: {A-Clubs}{J-Clubs}

As if Trudeau had gazed directly through Levinskas' soul, he had called the shove holding nothing but ace-jack high. Levinskas, with eight-high, had to make his way to the exit in 79th place ($91,610).

With the huge call, Trudeau soared to 10,900,000 and the second place behind Fox.
