Championship Day 1B: Scott Levitt Eliminated

$3,500 WPT Poker Showdown Championship
$3,000,000 Guaranteed | Structure
Level 8:  600/1,200 with a 1,200 ante
Day 1B Entries:  1,003

A player limped under the gun for 1,200, Scott Levitt moved all in from the hijack for 31,000, and his opponent asked for a count and thought for a while before he called with AdJs.

Levitt turned over KcJh, and he needed to improve to stay alive.

The board came 9s8d5sAc7s, and the UTG player won the pot with a pair of aces to eliminate Levitt.
