Cowen Busts Before Break
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Puk Nabuurs, Maxi Lehmanski, and Robert Cowen headed to a flop of 5♥6♠5♣. Nabuurs checked from the big blind, and Lehmanski followed suit in middle position.
Cowen then bet 14,000, which only Lehmanski called. Lehmanski kept check-calling when Cowen sized up to 42,000 on the 2♣ turn, and did so again when Cowen moved all his 110,500 chips over the line on the 6♦ river.
Cowen tabled K♥K♦Q♦4♥ for an overpair, but Lehmanski had the best hand with A♣Q♣7♠5♠. His trips eliminated Cowen mere seconds before the field was sent on a break.
