Straight Flush Keeps Bowker in the Game

Kyle Bowker and Travis Roseberry are still heads up, displaying the patience of saints and the stamina of marathon runners.

Most recently, Bowker, decisively the short stack with just 30,000, checked his big blind to a limp from Roseberry. Bowker bet out 4,000 on the {3-Clubs} {3-Hearts} {2-Diamonds} flop; Roseberry called. Then it was Roseberry's turn to be the aggressor. Bowker checked the {6-Hearts} turn to him, and he bet 7,000. Bowker now reraised all in and Roseberry called.

Roseberry: {4-Clubs} {6-Spades}
Bowker: {7-Hearts} {4-Hearts}

River: {5-Hearts} -- making Bowker a straight flush and keeping him in the game with around 70,000.
