Lew Doubles Without Being at Risk
Randy Lew opened to 4,000 from the under-the-gun plus two position and was confronted with a push from the player on the button for 27,000. His neighbor, the player in the small blind, wanted an exact count and then made the call after some moments of thinking. The player in the big blind folded and the table stared at Lew who's move it was. Lew checked how much the small blind had behind (around 60,000 it looked like) and pushed all in for 66,100 total. The odds were good for the small blind but after about two minutes of thinking he decided to fold for the 39,100 more.

on the river was a blank though and Lew eliminated a player - almost doubling in the process.
