Levy Makes the Right Fold
Level 1
: Blinds 100/200, 200 ante
Davy Levy raised to 500 from the hijack and called a three-bet of 1,200 from Marvin Rettenmaier, who was in the small blind.
Levy called a 1,700 bet from Rettenmaier on the J♥2♥J♣ flop and a 4,200 bet from Rettenmaier on the Q♥ turn.
The 5♥ completed the board and Rettenmaier put 7,300 into the middle — sending Levy deep into the tank.
After a couple of minutes, Levy said, "I've done this twice in my life," and open folded A♣A♦.
"I was ahead, wasn't I?" Levy asked Rettenmaier.
"You were... ahead preflop," Rettenmaier replied as he turned over A♥J♦ for trip jacks.
The two then shared a fist-bump and and Rettenmaier collected the pot.
