Robert Panitch Eliminated by New Chipleader Michael Lewin

As told to us by Ronit Chamani, Michael Lewin raises to 3,500 from early position and Robert Panitch three-bets to 10,000 from the next seat. Action folds back to Lewin who calls to see a flop of 8-6-4, with two spades.

Lewin check-calls 24,000, a third low spade hits the turn, and Lewin cheks. Panitch bets 40,000, Lewin check-raises all in, and Panitch calls all in for about 160,000 more with [AdKs]. Lewin has the hand sealed with [AsTs], making the river inconsequential.
