Level 22 : 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante

Albers Extracts with a River Card vs. Bowers

Level 21 : 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante

The flop read {a-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{2-Spades} and there was around 375,000 in the pot. Derek Bowers checked to Kevin Albers who bet 235,000 and Bowers check-called to see the {k-Clubs} turn card.

Both players checked to the {5-Hearts} river where Bowers checked again and Albers reached for chips, pushing in 450,000. Bowers thought for a full minute but in the end, he called the large river bet.

Albers tabled the nuts as he showed {q-Spades}{10-Clubs} for a rivered straight and Bowers let out a sigh of disappointment as he sent his cards into the muck.
