Cowen Doubles Up
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
It was a classic preflop showdown situation after Robert Cowen raised to 3,000 and Yudai Futai three-bet to 7,000. Cowen went all in, and Futai called.
Robert Cowen: A♦J♣
Yudai Futai: K♠K♦
The A♣4♣8♣ flop immediately favored Cowen with an ace and a flush draw. Futai was left with just one out because any club would complete Cowen's flush. Neither the 4♥ turn nor the 2♦ river improved Futai's hand, and Cowen celebrated a double up.
