Both players checked the flop of {5-Clubs}

{5-Clubs}

{K-Spades}

{A-Diamonds}

and the turn of {9-Diamonds}

. When Quoss checked the {2-Hearts}

on the river, Sowers bet 180,000 and Quoss called, turning over {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

{Q-Hearts}

and out-kicking Sowers' {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{7-Spades}
