Sowers Stumbles, Stein Adds to Stack

Level 28 : 40,000/80,000, 5,000 ante
Sam Stein
Sam Stein

Sam Stein opened to 180,000 with the button and Mike Sowers called from the small blind. Both players checked the {10-Spades}{4-Diamonds}{5-Spades} flop and after the {5-Clubs} turned Sowers led for 290,000. Stein called.

The river was the {2-Clubs} 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 {10-Hearts}{8-Spades} 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.
