Rowe Begins the Climb Again

[user75032]

Finally, a hand that went Martin Rowe's way. With 8,500 chips in the pot, Rowe was one of three players to take a flop of {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{7-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

. Rowe opened for 6,000 before the player behind him raised all in for 16,400. That folded the third player, bringing the action back to Rowe who took about a minute before calling with {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{J-Spades}

. It was a good call; his opponent showed {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{10-Spades}

. The turn and river ran out {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{3-Clubs}

to ensure that the pot would head to Rowe and his opponent would head to the rail.
