Grant Levy stood up to talk to some people that are railing the final table. One of those was Julian Powell and he told Levy, "That was the worst fold in history, you don't deserve to be here." referencing an earlier situation where Levy made a fold that Powell disagreed with. Whether or not it was the correct fold, Levy is still going strong at the final table.
