Levi Wins Some Back

Level 4 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The flop read {8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} with 5,100 in the middle already.

Aleksei Istomin had checked in the big blind and Shahar Levi bet 1,600. Istomin raised to 4,600 which Levi called after contemplating his options for a while.

They both checked through the {k-Clubs} on the turn to the {j-Diamonds} on the river. Istomin checked for the last time after thinking about it for a minute. Levi took some time too and then decided to bet 11,000. Istomin glanced at Levi, tanked for a bit longer and then decided to let his hand go.
