Ionescu Picks Off Lewis

Ollie Garland

Level 44 : Blinds 300,000/600,000, 600,000 ante

Petre Ionescu raised to 1,300,000 from under the gun and Romain Lewis defended in the big blind.

Lewis played in flow on the 2?Q?7? flop. Ionescu bet out 900,000 and Lewis check-raised to 2,400,000. Ionescu called.

The 9? turn checked through to the J? on the river. Lewis came out firing for 3,800,000 and Ionescu went deep into the tank. Ionescu thought for a considerable amount of time before making the call.

Lewis rolled over K?10? for a queen-high flush, while Ionescu took down this pot with K?Q? for a king-high flush. Lewis clearly seemed shocked by his opponent's holding.
