Lewis Scores Double Knockout

Niveau 3

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

As the table was momentarily distracted by a player who had busted out of the Colossus yelling, "I'm 52 and I can take any of you!" and then dancing in the doorway for five minutes, the action heated up.

Toby Lewis raised to 800 from middle position, Patrick Leonard reraised to 3,100, the button went all in for 7,200, and the big blind re-jammed for 12,000. Lewis five-bet shoved for 40,000, and Leonard folded.

Lewis patted, and the button and big blind each drew two. Lewis fanned out a king-high flush, the big blind threw away his trip tens, and the button mucked. Lewis scooped up a big pot, as the other two joined the Colossus dancer on his way to the exit.

Niveau 3

Fans are welcome to come to celebrate the life of the late poker legend Doyle Brunson at Horseshoe Las Vegas on July 2 at 11:30 a.m.

Many high-profile poker players will speak at the memorial, which will take place inside the Jubilee Theater near the Horseshoe poker room, about a two-minute walk from the World Series of Poker (WSOP) tournament area.

Brunson, a 10-time WSOP bracelet winner and 1988 Poker Hall of Fame inductee, passed away last month at 89. He left behind quite a legacy in poker and will forever be remembered as one of the all-time greats.

Some former Brunson opponents and long-time friends such Daniel Negreanu, Phil Hellmuth, and Dewey Tomko will speak at the event. Jack Binion, former owner of Binion's Horseshoe, the original site of the WSOP, will also give a speech.

Nawabi Is Not Snowing

Niveau 3

No-Limit 5-Card Draw High

Following a hand in which Yosif Nawabi had bet big and when everyone folded announced, "I was snowing!", he found himself in a hand with Amin Hosein.

Hosein raised to 2,000 from middle position and Nawabi reraised to 6,000 on the button. Hosein took one card and Nawabi patted.

Hosein checked to Nawabi, who then went all in for 14,200. Hosein called begrudgingly. Nawabi said, "I'm snowing again!", but then turned over a full house, fives over threes.

Nawabi said he was worried Hosein had filled up, and Hosein confirmed his suspicions saying he had two pair, kings and queens. "It's okay though," Nawabi said, trying to console Hosein. "I already gave you 40,000 on that other hand."
