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 {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{A-Clubs} 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 {9-Clubs}{8-Clubs} for a turned flush. Lewis had {A-Hearts}{K-Spades} and would need an ace or six on the river to stay alive. The river was neither as it was the {4-Hearts}.

"Nice hand," said a disappointed Lewis as he shook Rice's hand. Rice moved to 2,200,000 with that sizable pot.
