Sowers Doubles Through Nguyen

Mike Sowers knew what he had to do when action folded to him in the small blind. He moved all in for about 700,000 with {A-Clubs} {5-Clubs}. Binh Nguyen quickly called with {A-Diamonds} {Q-Spades}, priming the railbirds for an elimination. But Sowers hit the flop in a very hard way, as it came down {k-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {10-Clubs} to gave him a pair and a flush draw. Neither the turn {7-Spades} nor the {4-Diamonds} that hit the river improved Nguyen. He's down to about 1.0 million in chips; Sowers doubled to 1.4 million.

And so the search for two more eliminations goes on.
