Things Turning Sowers

When the action folded to Tom Braband on the button, he looked down at {A-Hearts}{3-Hearts} and decided to open-shove for around 120,000. Only problem was that Mike Sowers woke up with {A-Spades}{A-Clubs} in the small blind and made an insta-call.

The flop was {5-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}, giving the players a sweat as Braband had picked up a pair and chop outs with the straight draw. The turn was a brick with the {J-Spades}, however the "ooooohs" from the rail gave away that the river was a cruel {3-Clubs}, giving Braband trips to crack the aces of Sowers.

Braband wipes the sweat from his brow and sits back down behind 260,000 chips.
