Catching Up With Winamax Team Pro Romain Lewis

Nível 11 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

According to Romain Lewis, he's now into either his third or fourth year of the Winamax Poker Open and each year is as good as the next.

"You get to see a lot of the same faces and the same smiles around the place which is good. I played the High Roller a bunch of times; contributed to the prize pool a little bit too much in my opinion.

"I didn't get to cash that one so I've started in the Main Event today."

Later today sees the Winamax Beer Pong Open which is increasingly being referred to as the "Second Main Event." Lewis and fellow Winamax Team Pro Guillaume Diaz will be out for glory in that one.

"The WPO is just the sort of place where people go to mix holidays and poker," said Lewis. "It's that resort feeling; you come back to the same hotel, the same bar and the same games. You laugh, you have a drink, you play games until the early hours, and then you're going to have fun and you're going to come back!"

Another thing that makes it attractive is the 6-Max format.

"Everyone sees the 6-Max tournaments as opportunities to play more hands. We're all bunched close together around the table and that close-knit atmosphere makes everyone aggressive, not just the amateurs.

"Every pot is a three-bet pot it seems. There's a four-bet every two orbits or so, so it's pretty crazy out there. I think I have to play value if you want to go far in this tournament. But sometimes, you know, you have those cards and you're in those pots...and it just gets a little bit too aggressive!"

Winamax Team Pros Lewis and Lopes Eliminated

Nível 12 : 700/1,400, 1,400 ante

Romain Lewis's seat was noticeably empty (nothing to do with the Beer Pong Tournament starting imminently we assume), and at Bruno Lopes's table his opponent had checked a board to him and Lopes had moved all in for around 30,000.

His opponent called and Lopes flipped open for a flush draw. His opponent was ahead with for a pair and open-ended straight draw, rendering Lopes's ace moot. The river was the and Lopes was eliminated.
