Another Double
Level 24
: 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
The players at risk are holding in there, and this time it was Royce Matheson who was on the receiving end. Romain Lewis opened with a raise from early position, and Matheson made the call in the big blind before checking to Lewis on a 
flop.
Lewis continued with a bet of 75,000 and Matheson went all in. Lewis was unsure of his next move and was visually thinking through what he should do. Matheson was waiting patiently for a decision, and eventually, he got the call.
Royce Matheson: 
Romain Lewis: 
Turn: 
River: 
Matheson was ahead with top pair, but Lewis had many outs with a higher flush draw and gutshot straight draw. But the Frenchman could not hit any of them and Matheson earned the vital double.
