Ted Forrest Avoids Fifth Diamond, Doubles Through Levy
Level 13
: 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Ted Forrest faced a tough decision on sixth street. Looking at Barry Levy's board, Forrest contemplated whether his rival had made a flush or not. Levy placed in a bet and Forrest had only 5,400 behind. The six-time bracelet winner eventually took his chances against four diamond cards lying in front of Levy, who called the remaining 1,400.
Ted Forrest: 
/ 
Barry Levy: 
/ 
Forrest's instinct was correct, Levy didn't have fifth diamond in his hole. Forrest was ahead but the seventh card could still pull Levy out front. But Forrest avoided his elimination as Levy received only the 
for a pair of nines. Forrest was already the winner with his tens, and his 
was just a sparring partner for his winning hand.
