McVeigh Avoids Elimination After Unavoidable Cooler
Level 27
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
David Levy opened to 185,000 from the hijack and saw Jay McVeigh three-bet all in from the button for 940,000. Action folded back to Levy and he quickly called.
Jay McVeigh:
David Levy:
McVeigh was in need of improving in order to avoid becoming the sixth-place finisher in the tournament. The flop came to give Levy a set of queens. However, it also gave McVeigh more outs than before as he found himself with an open-ended straight draw. He completed the draw on the turn to hit a straight, leaving Levy in need of the board pairing to boat up and score the knockout.
The river came and McVeigh held to lock in the double.
