You Just Won't Die, Kid

First in from the cutoff seat, Kyle Bowker raised to 28,000, and Per Ummer called in position. Heads up, the two men took a flop of {K-Diamonds} {A-Clubs} {8-Diamonds}, and Bowker continued out with a bet of 33,000. Ummer quietly announced an all in as he slid one stack forward, and Bowker instantly called off his last 199,000 chips to put himself at risk.

Showdown
Bowker: {A-Diamonds} {K-Clubs}
Ummer: {J-Diamonds} {9-Diamonds}

Bowker had flopped both of his pairs, but he was going to need to fade the diamonds in the deck to avoid elimination. The turn {3-Hearts} was frighteningly red, but the river {10-Spades} was safe and sound for "kwob20", earning him the double up.

"You just won't die, kid," Joe Hachem grinned from across the table. Indeed, Bowker is still hanging around, though his 480,000 chips are still below average for now.
