Sowers Stumbles, Stein Adds to Stack
Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
Sam Stein opened to 180,000 with the button and Mike Sowers called from the small blind. Both players checked the flop and after the turned Sowers led for 290,000. Stein called.
The river was the and Sowers slowed down, checking to Stein who fired 435,000. Sowers then check-raised to 1.25 million sending Stein deep into the tank. He eventually called showing for a pair of tens and we are not sure what Sowers had because of our limited access to the feature table, but the legendary Robbie Thompson said he showed just jack-high.
Stein's stack increased to 6.5 million chips with the win while Sowers slipped to 3.5 million.
