Levi Breaks Meelis

[user66118]

John Tabatabai made it 1,500 to go preflop, and Nicolas Levi made the call in position. From the small blind, Jolmer Meelis squeezed in a reraise to 5,200, and that was enough to get Tabatabai out of the way. Levi, however, plunked out 30,000 chips, enough to cover Meelis. He got action, and Meelis was at risk (but in fine shape) as the cards were turned up:

Levi: {A-Clubs} {Q-Clubs}
Meelis: {A-Diamonds} {A-Spades}

It's never easy with aces, it seems. The flop came {5-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {10-Clubs} to give Levi the flush draw, but he bricked the {A-Hearts} turn. The {K-Clubs} river was a much better card for him, filling in that club flush and earning him the knockout.
