Pressure By Romain Lewis
Hands on many tables are taking longer to play as we are approaching the money bubble. One player that seems to be putting the pressure on while we await for the bubble to break is French poker pro Romain Lewis.
The hand started with Manu Martin raising from the cut-off to 8,000. Lewis looked down at his cards, thought for a second before raising the action from the big blind to 28,000. Martin went into the tank for the first time this hand for a couple of minutes before opting to call.
Lewis began applying pressure on a flop of leading out for a bet of 15,000. This wasn't a huge bet considering how much was already in the pot, however, Martin tanked for a few minutes before opting to call.
Lewis then led out for 70,000 when the appeared on the turn, essentially putting his opponent all-in if he called. This time Martin went into the tank even longer before folding. Lewis then took a peek at both cards and turned over the to show his opponent at least one of his hands didn't pair the board, although if his other hole card was the [5x} have flopped a straight. What he was holding is likely something we will be unable to find out until the tournament is in the books if at all.
