Poker career

Lewis began playing online poker on Pokerstars under the screen name "810ofclubs," later moving on to live games.

In February 2013, Lewis finished 6th in the L.A Poker Classic for $194,000.

EPT Victory

In 2010, Lewis won the record-breaking European Poker Tour event in Vilamoura, Portugal. The 384-player field was a Portuguese record and Lewis earned €467,836 for beating a final table that included fellow UK poker pro Sam Trickett and former Manchester United footballer Teddy Sheringham. [4] In recognition of this, Lewis was nominated for "Rookie of the Year" at the European Poker Awards in 2011. [5]

Aussie Millions Main Event Victory

On 29 January 2018 Lewis beat out 800 players to win the 2018 Aussie Millions Main Event for $1,178,513. A deal was made between the final 3 players giving Lewis the lion's share of the prize money.
