[user108095]

We saw a three-way unraised pot after David Benefield limped from the button and Brian Lempke limped from the small blind.

Action checked to Benefield on a flop of {4-Hearts}

and he bet 12,000. Lemke called and Steve Kopp folded. We went heads up to the turn where Lemke check-called another 32,000 on the {7-Diamonds}

. Both players checked the {10-Clubs}

on the river and Benefield mucked when Lemke turned over {K-?}

for top pair.

Lemke now has 413,000 while Benefield is down to 104,000.

The action then passed to Ben Tollerene in the big blind who made the call as Busquet got out of the way.

Tollerene: {Q-Hearts}

Sowers:

The board ran out {A-Spades}

giving Sowers a running broadway straight to find a miraculous double up. He's up to 440,000 with Tollerene left shaking his head with 150,000 chips.

Sowers Kicks It Up a Gear

[user67765]

After being fortunate to still be alive in this tournament a short time ago, Mike Sowers has now kicked it up a gear after collecting a generous pot without showdown.

On a flop of {A-Spades}

, Faraz Jaka checked over to Olivier Busquet who fired 55,000. Sowers made the call in position, before Jaka check-raised to 165,000. Busquet folded as Sowers called once again.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs}

and Jaka checked to Sowers, who moved all in forcing a fold from his opponent.

A strange sequence of betting but a great result for Sowers as he's now up to 730,000 chips.
