Lewis Doubles Through Lamanna's Bluff
Pierpoala Lamanna raised to 500,000 preflop and got called by Cong Pham in the cutoff and Toby Lewis in the big blind. The trio then saw a flop of 9?10?5? and Lamanna continued for 800,000 once Lewis checked to him. Pham got out of the way, but Lewis matched the bet.
On the 8? turn, Lewis check-called another 1,650,000 bet from Lamanna. The 9? river then completed the board and Lewis promptly led out for 6,000,000, around half his stack. Lamanna thought it over for a bit before shipping his entire stack of 16,875,000 in the middle, covering Lewis.
Lewis sat in silence for a while before he stated "I've got a full house," followed by "I'd love to fold." Ultimately, however, he could not bring himself to do so and put in the call while tabling his 9?5?, which indeed was a rivered full house. Lamanna was forced to table his K?Q? for a stone-cold bluff, and Lewis doubled up, while Lamanna was left with less than 20 big blinds early on Day 7.
