They saw a flop of {J-Hearts}

The river landed the {9-Diamonds}

{9-Diamonds}

and Pearson led for 1,800 before Gowen moved all in for a few hundred more, with Pearson making the call.

Gowen flipped {Q-Clubs}

{9-Spades}

for the flopped straight, but the river was a fatal blow as Pearson flipped {K-Spades}
