Shawn Bowen Doubles Up
May 10, '19
Shawn Bowen lost a big pot when his pocket eights couldn’t hold against a shorter stack’s shove with A-7.
Then, Bowen was one of the five players that took a flop of 542. The player in the big blind checked, the player under the gun checked and middle position bet 12,500. Bowen was on his direct left and raised to 30,000.
The cutoff folded and action folded back around to the original bettor, who moved all in. Bowen snap-called and was the player at risk for his last 69,500.
“You got deuces?” asked Bowen as he tabled 54.
His opponent showed JJ and was in worse shape than he originally thought after another player at the table announced that he folded pocket jacks as well.
The turn was the 4, giving Bowen a full house, and the river was the 3.
Shawn Bowen – 153,000
