After his elimination, Mike Sowers shook hands with everyone at the table and then headed for the door. ESPN is conducting interviews with players as they're eliminated, and as a powerful spotlight turned on and the cameraman moved into position, a producer intercepted Sowers before he cleared the area. Most people wouldn't be in an especially chatty mood after being busted from a World Series final table, and that seemed to be the case with Sowers. He and the producer spoke for a few seconds, Sowers continued on his way out the door, and the spotlight clicked off and slowly faded to darkness.
