Lewis Is His Own Rail
Level 39
: Blinds 600,000/1,200,000, 1,200,000 ante
Todd Lewis raised all in under the gun. Action made it around to Safwane Bahri, who made the call from the small blind.
Todd Lewis: A♥3♦
Safwane Bahri: J♠J♣
With Bahri's rail rattling, the flop came 9♥10♠8♥, giving him an open-ended straight draw to go with his pocket pair.
However the hand wasn't over. The 8♦ on the turn didn't matter, but the A♦ on the river sure did, saving Lewis' tournament life.
The rail moaned loudly when the ace hit.
"Bad guy wins," Lewis said. "Bad guy wins."
One of Bahri's supporters asked him where was his rail.
"I'm my own rail," he said.
