Levy Loses Big One, Still One of Chip Leaders

One minute we were out amongst the tables and Daniel Levy had a stack of under 100,000 and seemingly the next minute he had up around 190,000. Apparently Levy had taken multiple big pots, including a sizable one off Team PokerStars Pro Bryan Huang. Now Levy has just lost a big portion of his stack to Wenjian Qiu. However, Levy still has one of the biggest stacks in the room.

The hand started with Daniel Neilson opening to 2,400 from early position. The play folded around to Levy on the button and he three-bet to 5,500. Next to act, from the small blind, was Wenjian Qiu and he would cold four-bet to 17,500. Neilson quickly got out of the way, while Levy opted to move his monster stack all in. Qiu thought for quite a while, eventually calling off his stack of around 65,000.

It was Levy's against Qiu's . Qiu needed to dodge some cards, while Levy would have been hoping to scoop another big pot to see his chip lead soar even higher. The board was favourable to Qiu as both he and Levy now have big respectable stacks.
