Gowen's Case Dismissed

Clonie Gowen's case for champion of this tournament has come to an early end. She won't have to worry about running into any of her former Full Tilt colleagues for the rest of the tournament. With the blinds having become prohibitively large, Gowen moved all in preflop with {10-Hearts} {3-Spades} and was called by Jerry Yang's {A-Hearts} {8-Spades}. The hands remained the same after a flop of {J-Diamonds} {7-Diamonds} {2-Clubs}. When an ace hit the turn, Gowen was drawing dead. She is eliminated; Yang will play John "the Razor" Phan tomorrow in Round Two.
