Levy Busts One

Grant Levy

With a limper from under the gun, Grant Levy popped it up to 800 to play from middle position. The table folded around and the limper decided to play.

The flop fell {2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} and the action checked to Levy who made a continuation bet of 1,350. The UTG player thought for a moment before declaring "4,000" and tossing out a single orange chip.

Levy asked for a count and discovered the UTG player only had 2,300 more behind. Levy grabbed a stack of yellow chips and put his opponent all in, who quickly made a committed call.

Levy: {J-Clubs}{J-Spades}
UTG: {9-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The turn was the {Q-Diamonds} and river the {5-Spades} and Levy takes it down to move up to 65,000 chips.

After some friendly ribbing from table mate and fellow Australian Andrew Scott about how Levy makes the game look easy, Levy defended by saying, "That was the first player I've busted for the whole WSOP! How does he not hit a ten?"
