Field's Full House Too Good for Zowie

[user67765]

Michael Zowie limped into the pot from under the gun before Josh Field made it 9,000 to go from the cutoff. The table folded back to Zowie who made the call.

The flop was {5-Clubs}

and both players checked. The turn was the {10-Spades}

and Zowie led out for 16,000. Field thought for a moment and made the call.

The river brought the {5-Spades}

and Zowie threw out a small bet of 15,000. Field deliberated and weighed up his options for a long time before exclaiming something along the lines of wanting to raise, before making the call.

Field was confident he was in front as he showed his hand first -- {5-Diamonds}

for the full house. It was good as Zowie mucked.

Zowie slips back to 70,000 with Field now out to 180,000.
