Tyler Potts

Bowden Bows Out

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

The seat that Daniel Bowden formerly occupied was just seen empty and he confirmed with PokerNews that his tournament run came to an end after he got the last of his chips into the middle with pocket fours, only to run them into pocket kings.

Bowden earned his entry via satellite and built his stack up to over 70,000 early in the day, but found himself on the wrong end of a few coolers and was unable to survive when all was said and done.

"That's poker," added Bowden with a smile as he made his way from the tournament room.
