John O'Shea raised to 65,000 under the gun and to his immediate left Tom Marchese re-popped to 160,000. It folded around to Kyle Bowker in the big blind, who rather intriguingly flat-called. O'Shea thought about it for a long time before also making the call.
The flop came down 
and Bowker bet out 150,000. O'Shea quickly folded and didn;t look happy at all - that preflop call left with just 400,000 or so to his name. Marchese, in much better shape chip-wise than O'Shea, called.
They went heads up to a 
turn and this time Bowker checked. Marchese bet a hefty 290,000, and Bowker called.
The pot was pretty big by this point, but it wasn't going to get any bigger. Bowker checked again on the 
river and this time Marchese checked behind before revealing 
. Bowker showed him 
that had been behind all the way, and although he retained the chip lead, his count dropped to around 3.8 million. Marchese moved on up to 2.55 million.
