Gone Sowers

Mike Sowers

In a rare hand where we've seen some postflop play, action started when Thomas Keller raised to 135,000 from under the gun and got called by Mike Sowers in the big blind.

Sowers bet 180,000 on a flop of {9-Clubs}{9-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} and Keller flatted. Sowers bet another 310,000 at the {K-Diamonds} on the turn, and Keller called again.

When a flush came with the {3-Clubs} on the river, Sowers checked and Keller pushed his remaining chips into the middle. Sowers thought the action through for just a few seconds before releasing his hand.

Keller is now at 2.3 million while Sowers is done to about 1.25 million.
