Levy Doubles Through

PokerNews reporter James Bernard could have written down this hand for us, but we reckon it's best to let him be as the on-duty staff managed to catch a hand on his table between Grant Levy and Ben Savage.

Levy moved all in for 25,500 and Savage made the call as the others got out of the way.

Levy: {A-Clubs}{5-Spades}
Savage: {K-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The flop and turn of {3-Hearts}{9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{Q-Spades} produced a bit of a sweat, adding a few extra outs to a straight for Savage's hand.

However a harmless {5-Clubs} came down on the river to see Levy double up to 57,000; Savage takes a hit and is down to 71,000 in chips.
