Lewis Can't Lay Down Top Pair
We got to the table with 275,000 already in the pot and Austin Lewis facing an all in reraise from Travis Rice after he had raised to 250,000. The board was and Rice sat motionless, looking down at his stack.
Lewis stood up muttering "crazy" to himself. He took his hat off and ran his hands through his hair.
"I think I know exactly what you have," said Lewis to a non-responsive Rice. "I'm 88%... 90% sure... I know exactly what you have. I hope I don't fold this."
"I want to fold it but I don't think I can," Lewis continued. A sigh. "Brutal. This is painful. What would a good player do right now?"
No longer able to take the agony, Lewis said the words... "I call."
He wished he hadn't as Rice turned over for a turned flush. Lewis had and would need an ace or six on the river to stay alive. The river was neither as it was the .
"Nice hand," said a disappointed Lewis as he shook Rice's hand. Rice moved to 2,200,000 with that sizable pot.
