River is Sweet for Gowen

[user75032]

Play is six-handed now, and that means players will have to play more marginal hands and play them harder than they otherwise might. That was on display in a recent hand between Clonie Gowen and Zach Fellows. Gowen bet 20,000 on a flop of {4-Clubs}

{4-Clubs}

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Diamonds}

and Fellows made the call. Both players checked the {4-Hearts}

{4-Hearts}

turn. When the river came {8-Diamonds}

{8-Diamonds}

, Gowen bet another 30,000. Fellows called with {10-Hearts}

{10-Hearts}

{9-Hearts}

, middle pair of tens. Gowen turned over {10-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{8-Spades}

, a hand that was trailing going into the river but spiked a second pair.

Gowen's up to 320,000 after the hand.
