Two Hands with Flowers

On the {J-Spades}{6-Hearts}{5-Clubs} flop, one player checked before Randal Flowers fired 1,500. The third player in the hand raised to 3,500 and the first player folded back to Flowers. Flowers thought about it and then mucked his hand, dropping back to 43,000 in chips.

On the next hand, Flowers raised an opponent's 3,000-chip bet on the {Q-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} board to 7,300. A third player in the hand folded before the original bettor was back up. That player tanked and tanked. In fact, he put on such an acting scene that we started to contemplate whether or not he was up for an Oscar. Finally, the player moved all in and Flowers quickly called.

Flowers: {A-Hearts}{5-Hearts}
Opponent: {A-Spades}{5-Spades}

Flowers and his opponent held the same hand, although Flowers held a redraw to hearts. The river completed the board with the {2-Spades} and both players chopped up the pot.
