button in SafariChiero Pads Chip Lead After Eliminating Lewis
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
It was a classic race after a series of raises led to an all-in by Nicholas Lewis from the hijack for approximately 74,000 total and a call by Phillip Chiero out of the big blind to put Lewis at risk.
Nicholas Lewis: A♦K♠
Phillip Chiero: Q♦Q♣
The flop favored Chiero when it fanned out J♠4♠3♥ to keep his pocket queens ahead of Lewis, who was still drawing to his overcards.
Lewis missed on the 4♣ turn and the 9♦ river as Chiero pulled in to add to his chip lead thus far on Day 1a.
