Levy Likes the River
Blinds: 75/150
Picking up the action after a 
flop, the player in the big blind checked to Adam Levy who bet 400 from middle position. Levy’s opponent called to see the 
turn, which both players checked. When the 
landed on the river, the player in the big blind bet 1,000. Levy raised to 3,500 and after a few moments, Levy’s opponent called.
Levy tabled 
for a set of threes, his opponent mucked, and Levy collected the pot to increase his stack to about 22,000.
