Lewis Powers Up on River
Level 23
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action picked up on a board showing 5?8?10?9?10? in a battle of the blinds between Andrew Ziskin and WSOP bracelet winner Toby Lewis.
Ziskin, who was in the big blind, had an 80,000 bet on the felt, and was waiting on Lewis to act.
Lewis, who was in the small blind, responded with a healthy 400,000 check-raise, which got Ziskin’s attention.
“How much is that?” Ziskin asked the dealer, who counted the chips and confirmed the amount.
Ziskin then went in the tank for up to a minute, shuffling chips with his right hand while staring at the board. Ziskin then looked at his opponent and folded.
