Levi Doubles Up

Things were looking grim for David Levi earlier, but he's back in action after a recent double-up. Yosh Nakano opened the action preflop by raising to 1,200. Levi called from the button and Praz Bansi called from the big blind for a three-way pot. Bansi checked the {10-Spades} {7-Clubs} {6-Spades} flop over to Nakano, who bet 4,000. Only Levi called.

The turn was the {2-Diamonds}. Nakano had first action and bet 10,000, enough to put Levi all in. Levi quickly called all in with top pair, top kicker, {a-Spades} {10-Spades}, which was in the lead against Nakano's red nines {9-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Nothing changed with the {5-Clubs} river. Levi's final call was counted down at 8,450. Once that amount was added to the pot, Levi was up to about 30,000.
