Levi Elevated

Nicolas Levi: wins today's hat prize
Nicolas Levi: wins today's hat prize
Suave Frenchman and poker player/commentator Nicolas Levi just doubled through to over 100k. Cutoff Julius Colman had raised to 6,300 and Levi pushed all in on the button for just over 50,000. Everyone woke up when it was big blind Dave 'El Blondie' Colclough who flat called the all-in. Colman folded and they were on their backs:

Colclough: {Q-Spades}{Q-Clubs}
Levi: {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}

A slightly bitter sounding Kenny Tran, who hasn't had the best luck so far in this tournament but at least is still in it, said, "It's 50/50 -- who wants to lay me a price on the queens?"

But the flop brought {5-Hearts}{6-Spades}{J-Hearts} ("I nearly had a heart attack," said Levi), and the turn and river stayed low, to knock a chunk off El Blondie's stack and double him up.

Incidentally, the white fedora which Levi is sporting (I think it's a fedora) is the best in a line of four hats on his table -- seat one Julius Colman has a kind of straw hat, then there's Levi, then Joe Le with a big blue baseball cap thing, then Colclough with a small black hat.
