Lewinski Survives on the River With House-Over-House Versus Straight
Table 14 in the Brasilia room has just seen a hand occur that left them all amazed with one player claiming it to be the craziest hand he has seen in the Main Event so far.
Fred Lopez, in early position, Todd Lewinski, in the small blind, and Carlos Chang, in the big blind, got all their chips into the middle preflop with Chang covering them both.
Fred Lopez: 
Todd Lewinski:
Carlos Chang: 
Board: 
Lewinski was the preflop favorite with pocket-queens and hit top set on the flop, but the ten on the turn gave Chang the straight, as well as Lopez a set. Chang was on the verge of scoring a double elimination, but the jack on the river paired the board to give Lewinski the lead once more, and he took the pot. Lopez was sent to the rail and Chang was left to wonder what could have been.
