"No Sweat Please"

Level 22 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

Randy Lew raised to 52,000 from the hijack and his table neighbor moved all in for 468,000. Lew gave it plenty of thought and eventually called.

Lew tabled {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds} and his opponent had {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}, which caused chuckles from both players. "No sweat please," Lew said and the flop fell {J-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{6-Clubs}. Lew's opponent picked up a backdoor flush draw, but the split pot was secured with the {J-Clubs} turn, making the {K-Spades} river a formality.

Lew started the day with around 1.1 million in chips and is up nicely since.
