Lewis Brings Hassan to Cooler Town

Sometimes, two hands colliding is unavoidable. Most of the times, those big hands end up all in before the flop, and one angry and one happy face emerge.

But when stacks are deeper, two big hands ending up all in takes some help from the board as well sometimes. As was the case in a big hand between Lewis and Hassan just minutes ago.

Lewis opened with a raise to 10,000 under the gun, according to our colleague from the World Poker Tour blog. Ali Hassan made it 21,500 from middle position, and action folded back to Lewis. The British pro four-bet to 55,000, and Hassan made the call after some thinking.

The flop gave the duo , and Lewis fired 45,000 to the middle. Hassan called.

The fell on the turn, and Lewis continued his aggression with a 75,000 bet. Hassan had a tough decision, but eventually moved all in. Lewis double checked his cards, and made the call.

Hassan's situation before the flop already wouldn't have been as bright as he might had hoped for if they had ended up all in, but here on the turn things were even more worrying for him.

He had exactly one out left, he needed the and the only to survive. 2,27 percent of the time the king of hearts would hit, but this wasn't going to be that one in 44 times. Instead the hit, and Hassan made his way to the exit.
