Levine Rising

Matty Levine has been making a move up the chip leader board of late and we were there to catch a recent hand that added to his stack. When we arrived at the table, Levine and Elior Cohen were both committing 39,000 preflop and the dealer was turning over a {a-Clubs}{j-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop. Levine opted to check and then call a bet of 18,000 from Cohen as the dealer pulled out an {8-Spades} on the river.

"How much do you have? Like 200K?" asked Levine.

"Wait a minute, i'll count," replied Cohen.

Eventually Levine decided he would be 38,000. Cohen didn't look too excited as he eventually folded {k-}{k-} and sent the pot to Levine.
