Owen Out After Attempting Bluff
Level 18
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 15,000 ante
Adam Owen in the big blind and J Austin Hijar in middle position had gathered a sizable pot of 240,000 when they arrived post-draw. Owen then put Hijar all-in for 364,000, sending Hijar into the tank.
After a few minutes, Hijar committed the call for his tournament life. Owen flashed 10x10x before Hijar tabled 9x8x5x4x2x for a nine-low, catching a huge double-up.
Owen was left with just under nine big blinds, which he lost not much later to be eliminated from the tournament.
Meanwhile, start-of-day chipleader Han Liu, also seated at this table, had reached a seven-figure stack
