Yep, it's Another Double-Up

In what should come as shocking news to nobody who's been following the coverage throughout the course of the day, another short stack has doubled up. Blake Cahail opened the action preflop by raising to 125,000. Mike Sowers called from the button and Chris Ferguson called from the big blind. Ferguson and Cahail both checked when the flop came down {K-Hearts} {J-Diamonds} {9-Hearts}. Sowers fired out a bet of 250,000, folding Ferguson, but Cahail responded by moving all in for more than two million chips.

Sowers didn't take long to call all in for a total of 1.15 million with {K-Spades} {Q-Hearts}. He was up against Cahail's {A-Hearts} {5-Hearts}, an overcard and the nut flush draw. The turn and river blanked {6-Spades} and {9-Clubs}, giving Sowers a huge double-up. He now has 2.675 million in chips; Cahail is down to 1.7 million.
