Cowen Doubles to a Big Stack
Level 5
: Blinds 300/600, 600 ante
Quan Zhou raised to 1,300 from under the gun and Robert Cowen just called on his left. Marius Gierse was next to act and made it 5,900. The action folded back to Zhou who just called but Cowen shipped all in for 54,700. Gierse asked for a count and then called which got Zhou to lay his hand down.
Robert Cowen: A♦Q♦
Marius Gierse: A♠K♠
The flop came 9♥3♣2♥ and Zhou banged the table after noticing that he folded the only pair. However, the Q♣ on the turn gave Cowen the lead with a pair of queens. The river was the 2♣ and Cowen doubled up to an early big stack.
