Lewis Collects More With Set

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Action was picked up on the turn as the board read {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Hearts} with a pot of about 80,000 in the middle.

Romain Lewis bet 45,700. Julien Sitbon immediately started shifting in his chair, unsure of what to do. He tried talking to Lewis in French to get anything off of him but Lewis had headphones on and just stared ahead.

Eventually Sitbon called. Lewis tabled the {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} for a flopped set which bested the {a-Spades}{q-Spades} of Sitbon that he turned over in frustration.

Galant Spikes River

Level 13 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Robert Galant was seen collecting a big double up as it appeared as though he had fortuitously hit the river to survive.

He had the {k-}{k-} against the {a-}{q-} of Ana Marquez.

The flop had come {a-}{7-}{9-} to send Marquez into the lead and make things look dim for Galant. The turn was the {2-} but the river was another {k-} to dramatically save Galant.

"Remember that card when I win the tournament," he said with a laugh as he collected his chips.
