Hamilton and Fowler Tangle in Huge Pot

Level 13 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
Ian Hamilton

The action was joined with a board dealt to a J845 turn, and roughly 32,000 in the pot.

James Fowler put a bet of 21,000 into the middle from the hijack, but was met with a raise to 55,000 from Ian Hamilton on the button. Fowler made the call, and the two headed to a river.

That river was the 3, and when Fowler checked, Hamilton moved all in, covering his opponent's remaining 165,000.

Fowler took his time to come to a decision, ultimately choosing to return his cards to the dealer and surrender the chips in the middle.
