Randy Lew moments before he left the building.
We have just lost online phenom Team PokerStars Online pro Randy Lew and here is the hand.
Anastasios Kotsaris raised to 525 from early position and when the action folded around to Randy Lew on the button he three-bet to 1,325. Both blinds folded and Kotsaris four-bet to 3,000. The tension in the hand was building and Lew added to that tension with a five-bet to 5,500. By this time everyone knew that all of the money was going in the middle and so it was when Kotsaris moved all in and Lew called. It was the inevitable showdown and Lew was already packing up his things before the first community card was dealt.
