Lucky Levi Had Enough of Grinding

Nicolas Levi has been doing a lot of grinding today with a below average stack. He still has below average but has twice as much as before after making a move, and getting lucky, versus Ricardo Ibanez Rodriguez.

The Spaniard opened from the button before Levi three-bet all-in from the big blind. Rodriguez was thinking what to do when Levi piped up with, "What does the diamond say to do?" in reference to a little diamond ball Rodriguez was holding.

Rodriguez put the ball up to his ear and very quickly announced, "Call".

Levi said after the hand that he had hoped his speech would prompt a fold as he only had {q-Spades} {4-Spades} . Rodriguez tabled king-jack but the Frenchman hit a queen to stay alive.
