Lewis Wins the Biggest Flip of the Tournament
Directly after busting Artur Koren, Toby Lewis was involved in another important clash. It was Espen Solaas who raised to 70,000 from under the gun. Lewis three-bet to 300,000 from the big blind, Solaas four-bet to 715,000, Lewis five-bet shoved 2,605,000 and Solaas called it off to create the biggest pot of the tournament by far.
Toby Lewis:
Espen Solaas:
It was a massive flip for either player: Lewis would either go bust or become the new chipleader, whereas a Solaas hold would result in the Norwegian holding more than 1/3rd of all the chips in play with 13 players left.
The flop brought the king to pair up Lewis and give him the lead. Solaas was looking for one of the queens but didn't find them on the turn or river. Lewis is the new chipleader.
