It's a Mystery
Taggart =
Lewis =
Judging by the hole cards, it would appear as though there's more history between the two than the Oxbirdge libraries, but either way, Lewis' pair held, dodging a king, and then a gutshot draw, on an

looking in cracking shape against 
. Despite a nine on the flop, the best hand ultimately triumphed as a second cowboy rode in on the river to award Callghan the pot.
Consequently, Callaghan jumps up to the dizzy, nosebleed inducing heights of 30,000.
