An old adage states that good things come to those who wait. That was certainly the case for Mike Sowers during the first level of play during day 4 at the 2010 PokerStars Caribbean Adventure $10,000 no-limit hold’em main event.
We caught all of the hands that Sowers played from the beginning of play today into the first break. Of the 34 hands that he was dealt Sowers got involved on 12 of them. Four players were eliminated at his table during this stretch and although he largely stayed out of the way of any major pots he saved his best effort for last.
