Sowers Getting Short

Mike Sowers has been healthy in chips for long stretches of this tournament, but he's now a decided short stack. He raised to 125,000 and was called by the big blind, Pat Walsh. Both players checked the {9-Hearts} {2-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} flop. Walsh checked again when the turn fell {A-Hearts}, prompting Sowers to fire out for 175,000. Walsh quickly check-raised him all in. The stacks were close, but it didn't matter; Sowers folded after a minute, leaving himself with 750,000 in chips.
