Patience Pays Dividens For Crowe

Owen Crowe
Owen Crowe
Owen Crowe has been very quiet so far today, so much so that he often goes unnoticed seated in between the fast-talking Chino Rheem and Mike Matusow.

However, he recently got involved in some action with a raise preflop to 37,000. Phi Nguyen made the call, as did Cristian Dragomir from the small blind.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and Dragomir checked to Crowe, who fired out 66,000. Nguyen announced a raise, making it 216,000 to go. Dragomir thought for a long time before giving up his hand. Crowe made the call.

The turn was the {5-Diamonds} and Crowe checked to Nguyen, who fired out a healthy 270,000 chips. Crowe deliberated and made the call.

The river was the {10-Spades} and both players quickly checked. Crowe showed {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs} to take down the pot and move to over 1.3 million chips.
