Down and Up and Out for Gowen

Clonie Gowen
Clonie Gowen
Clonie Gowen got her stack in the middle after a flop of {7-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{8-Hearts} while holding {A-Clubs}{8-Clubs}. Her opponent held {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}, and when Gowen couldn't connect with the {2-Hearts} or {4-Diamonds}, she was left with just 700.

Two hands later, Gowen called all in blind from the big blind after the cutoff raised to 675 and the button called.

The cutoff led for 1,000 on a flop of {7-Spades}{A-Clubs}{Q-Diamonds}, and the button folded, leaving Gowen heads up in the hand.

Cutoff: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
Gowen: {Q-Spades}{4-Spades}

The {Q-Clubs} on the river gave Gowen the hand and the {K-Diamonds} on the river didn't change a thing.

Despite her triple up, Gowen has now been eliminated from the tournament.
