Romain Lewis Forced Out

Level 7 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

Five players saw a flop of {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Herve Fabbri checked in the small blind and the big blind checked as well, before the under the gun player bet 5,700. Team Winamax Pro Romain Lewis was in the next position and he raised to 11,400.

The fifth player in the hand folded and the action was back on Fabbri who made a big show of thinking and counting out the chips to call, before three-betting all in for over 70,000. He got three quick folds.

"Easy," said Fabbri in French as he raked in the pot.
