Roberts Takes a Step Up

Under the gun, Brent Roberts opened to 900, and he found calls from Toby Lewis (in position) and Scott Fischman (big blind).

The three of them went to a flop of {4-Hearts} {A-Hearts} {9-Diamonds}, and Fischman knocked the table. Roberts continued out with a bet of 1,700, Lewis called, and Fischman folded out of the way to let them go heads up.

That led them to the {Q-Hearts} turn, and Roberts fired another bullet, 4,200 this time. Lewis took a bit of a pause to stare, but he confidently plucked the calling chips from his stack and flicked them into the pot.

The {3-Diamonds} filled out the board, and Roberts kept the heat on. A third bullet worth 8,500 chips came from his corner, and that sent Lewis deep into the tank for several long minutes. Maybe he just wanted to enjoy his massage for a few uninterrupted minutes. Eventually, after cutting out the call and giving a long, hard stare over at "Astrolux85" before frowning and returning his cards to the dealer face-down.

Lewis - 33,500
Roberts - 51,000
