I'm Oliver Rowe, and This is My Job

We joined big action in a heads-up pot on a flop showing {A-Spades} {Q-Clubs} {6-Spades}. A betting and raising war broke out that resulted in Oliver Rowe being all in for a very healthy 182,500. His opponent was ahead with {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}, and he had Rowe covered by just about 15,000 chips. Cards on their backs, fellas:

Rowe: {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}
Opponent: {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds}

"Keep it low, and keep it red!" pleaded the unknown player. But his cries would fall on the dealer's deaf ears. The turn came the {K-Spades} to end the drama right there, Rowe having made an unbeatable spade flush. When the {7-Spades} filled out the board, the massive pot was pushed over to Oliver's corner, doubling him up into third place overall with about 370,000.

Rowe is familiar with this position. He finished in 5th place at this event one year ago, and he's well on his way to another shot at the LAPT Punta del Este final table this time around.
