Check-Raise by Lewis

James Akenhead opened for 2,600 under the gun and received calls from Michael Benvenuti and Toby Lewis on the button and small blind respectively. Lewis then checked the {3-Clubs}{6-Spades}{K-Hearts} flop, allowing Akenhead to continuation bet 6,800. Benvenuti made the call and Lewis tanked in the small blind. After about 90 seconds, the Brit fired out a check-raise to 13,000. Both Akenhead and Benvenuti folded to the aggression.

If you don't know about Lewis, we suggest you read up. He was one of the players we featured in our Rookie Roundup series prior to the World Series of Poker.
