First Pot For Lewis
Level 5
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Philip Sternheimer opened from middle position, and everybody folded to Romain Lewis who defended his big blind.
The dealer fanned a flop of J♣10♠9♣, and both players checked to see the turn 7♥.
At this point, Lewis took the lead and bet 26,000. Sternheimer called, and the 4♦ came on the river.
Lewis bet again, but sized it up to 85,000. Sternheimer went in the tank and had to use a time bank before folding. Followed by a TV crew, Lewis took his first pot of the day.
A few hands later, Sternheimer has been eliminated, like Dario Sammartino before him.
