Kempton and Levi Play Out Huge Pot Before the Break
Level 16
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Almost everyone had already left the tournament area but there was still a hand going on over on table 136 between Isaac Kempton on the button and Shahar Levi in the big blind. It turned out to be the biggest pot of the tournament so far in which Levi check-called the Q?9?6? flop for 375,000 and check-raised the pot to 1,250,000 on the A? turn, Kempton called.
That created a pot of more than three million to the 8? river and Levi checked. Kempton now moved forward almost his entire stack as he kept one T-5,000 chip behind. The bet was for 850,000 and Levi went deep into the tank. He used seven of his eight available time banks before folding several minutes into the first break of the day.
