Level 18 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Romain Lewis
Romain Lewis

Romain Lewis shoved in the cutoff for 94,000 chips left and it folded to Conrad Simpson who called in the big blind. Lewis revealed {10-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and was facing {a-Spades}{7-Hearts} in Simpson's hand.

The flop first brought {7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{k-Clubs}, giving a pair of sevens to Simpson, but a {10-Hearts} showed on the turn to give a pair of tens to Lewis, who improved his hand into trips after the {10-Clubs} hit the river. Lewis, who started the day with only 49,000, has now over 200,000 chips.

Ian O'Hara on the other hand busted a few moments earlier right after the bubble burst.
