Good Start For Sow

Level 14 : 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

Kalidou Sow entered this tournament just before the dinner break, and in one level he already tripled his stack.

The action was caught on a {5-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{4-Spades} board, he called a bet of 20,000 by Jill Burke, in a 50,000 pot. She showed the {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} for ace-high, but Sow tabled the {6-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} to claim the pot.

Sow also explained that he won a big pot a few minutes ago. With {q-}{q-} he hit a full house on the {q-}{7-}{7-} flop and decided to check-call. The turn was a {4-} when his opponent put him at risk and he called to double up.

"He only had queen-ten. Now, it's time to enjoy a good massage", said Sow.
