Top Pair for Levi

Dan Fleyshman
Dan Fleyshman

Hand #70: Ronald Lee raised to 65,000 from under the gun and Roland De Wolfe three-bet to 245,000. Back round to Lee who, after a brief pause, made the fold.

Hand #71: Roland De Wolfe bumped it up to 65,000 from UTG+1 and Daniel Steinberg made the call on the button. The flop came {J-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Clubs} and De Wolfe led out for 110,000. Steinberg threw his hand into the muck.

Hand #72: Continuing the trend of early position aggression, Nicolas Levi raised to 73,000 preflop and Dan Fleyshman defended his big blind.

On the {3-Spades}{J-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop, Fleyshman check-called a continuation bet of 75,000, and then checked again on the {5-Spades} turn. Levi checked behind.

The {2-Clubs} river turned Fleyshman aggressor as he fired out a chunky bet of 375,000. Levi pitched up tent in the think tank, reached for chips and feigned the call, which, I believe, triggered Jack Effel to interrupt and force the Frenchman to make the call.

On this occasion, however, the ruling favoured Levi who tabled {A-}{10-} for the winning hand. They didn't announce Fleyshman's holding or bring it into view of the flop cam, but it looked like he had a jack.

Fleyshman had turned his hand into a bluff, and had kept deftly quiet on the river as the other players complained about Levi's feign and alerted Effel to the scene of the crime. Understandably, Felysman was rather disappointed with the result, as it was a ruling that now sees him struggling with just 400,000 after entering the day first in chips.
