Picone and Lewis Clash in Big Pot
Level 20
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Romain Lewis made it 25,000 to go with the A♠Q♣ from an early position and Igor Picone three-bet big to 90,000 out of the small blind with Q♠J♠. It folded back to Lewis, who pondered about it for a short while and called.
Picone made the top two pair on the Q♦J♥9♦ flop and continued for 60,000, Lewis called. The 2♣ turn was checked by Picone and Lewis bet 100,000 to now send Picone into the think tank. One time bank later, the Belgian jammed for 291,000 and Lewis shrugged before calling.
The 4♣ river was a blank and Lewis saw his stack reduced to fumes.
