Action was folded around to the blinds for this hand. Robert McLaughlin was the small blind, and he moved all in for a total of 103,000. Kyle Bowker thought for a minute before making the call, putting McLaughlin on the brink.

Showdown:
McLaughlin: {10-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

{6-Hearts}

Bowker:

{Q-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

The flop paired both players but kept Bowker in the lead as it came {J-Hearts}

{J-Hearts}

{3-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

. The turn was a useless {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

, putting McLaughlin just one step away from the exit.

Lightning struck the river though. The {6-Clubs}

{6-Clubs}

peeled off as McLaughlin found one of his three outs. His two pair was good enough to win the pot, doubling him up to 220,000.
