Rabtsov Doubles Through Bowker

Action started with Kyle Bowker raising to 40,000 from the button. It folded to Kirill Rabtsov in the big blind, and he moved all in for 202,000. Bowker made the call, and the cards were tabled.

Bowker: {q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Rabtsov: {a-Spades}{7-Clubs}

Bowker hit the flop hard, as it came down {8-Spades}{q-Spades}{j-Clubs}. This gave Bowker top pair with a straight draw, and Rabtsov would need to catch an ace to survive. He did just that when the {a-Diamonds} hit the turn, and now Bowker was looking for a queen, ten, or nine to take the lead again. He didn't catch it though, as the {4-Diamonds} rolled off on the river.

Bowker is doing fine at 2.4 million, while Rabtsov doubles to 506,000.
