Level 5
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Enrico Macias Romero made it 1,600 to go from the hijack and Asaf Berman called from the button. Tzur Levy squeezed it to 8,000 from the small blind and only Romero came along with a call.
Levy slid out a bet of 4,500 upon seeing the A♠8♠3♥ flop. Romero called
A 3♦ landed on the turn and Levy bet 12,000, which again, Romero called.
The 9♣ completed the board and both players checked. Levy showed a busted flush draw with J♠10♠ and lost the pot to Romero's A♥J♥ for a pair of aces.
