Flowers Wilts, then Blossoms

Mark Randal Flowers has enjoyed/suffered a roller coaster of a ride during these opening levels.

First he raised to 16,000 preflop after Alessandro Longobardi had limped, before the Italian check-folded to an all in on a {9-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Hearts} flop.

Moments later, he doubled up Jonas Molander. Flowers raised it up from the button with {A-Clubs}{K-Hearts}, Molander came over the top from the big blind with {3-Hearts}{3-Diamonds} and Flowers called. {J-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Spades}{5-Spades}{2-Hearts} was enough to give the Swede the pot.

Then, after picking up the blinds contested the previous hand, Flowers himself doubled through courtesy of his prior sniper, {A-Hearts}{J-Spades} holding up against Molander's {A-Spades}{10-Spades} on a {3-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} board.

After all that, Flowers now has 130,000.
