Chips for Cowan

Josh Cowan has built a big stack today, and had moved up around 150,000 before the following hand took place.

Cowan opened for 3,000, a player reraised to 7,500, and Cowan called.

The flop brought one spade, coming {A-Spades}{6-}{3-}, and Cowan put out a big bet -- enough to put his opponent all in -- and his opponent called. Cowan showed {6-Spades}{5-Spades}, while his opponent had {Q-}{Q-}.

The turn was the {4-Spades}, giving Cowan a flush draw and an open-ended straight draw. Then the river brought the {2-Hearts}, giving Cowan the pot.

He's way up over 190,000 now.
