[user40108]

Jesse Bowman raised to 2,300 from early position. Action folded to Tony Merksick in the cutoff and he called. The blinds passed and it was heads-up to the flop of {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{6-Spades}

{4-Hearts}

. Bowman bet 3,900. Merksick announced a raise and slid out 15,000. Bowman moved all in for 17,800 total. Merksick reluctantly called, realizing he was likely beat. The players showed:

Merksick: {5-Hearts}

{5-Hearts}

{5-Clubs}

Bowman:

{A-Hearts}

{A-Spades}

The turn and river missed Merksick and his once-dominant stack took a pretty big hit. Bowman is now sitting on a healthy 40,000.
