Lewis Boards a Rocket Ship to the Moon
Level 16
: 2,000/4,000, 0 ante
We arrived when Dominik Nitsche checked from the big blind with the flop reading 
. Romain Lewis fired what looked like 27,000 from the hijack and Nitsche called.
The turn came 
and Nitsche checked again. Lewis cut out a bet of 81,000 and Nitsche paused for about a minute before he potted. Lewis called all in for 270,500 total and the cards were turned up in likely the largest pot of the tournament so far.
Lewis: 
Nitsche: 
Lewis was in great shape with the top set against the bottom set but he still needed to fade any six along with the remaining five in the deck.
The 
was a safe card for Lewis who completed a mammoth double to move over 600,000 in chips. Nitsche was still left with a solid 215,000 despite suffering the massive blow.
