Crowe Eliminated

Scott Bohlman opened the pot with a raise to 95,000 from under the gun. Owen Crowe was in middle position and reraised to 295,000. Action folded all the way around to Fernando Gordo in the big blind and he moved all in for 1.8 million chips total. Bohlman released his hand and then Crowe had a decision to make for all of his chips.

Crowe stood from his chair and removed his sunglasses. He tanked for a while. He even tried to talk to Gordo by saying, "I wish you spoke English."

All Gordo did was hold up his hand with his index finger and thumb spread about an inch to signify that he spoke a little bit. Crowe smiled, but still tanked.

Eventually, he made the call with {Q-Spades}

. Gordo held {A-Hearts}

. "Gotta win a race," announced Crowe.

The flop wasn't a good one for Crowe, when it came down {K-Clubs}

. Crowe was now looking for just a queen or running straight cards as his backdoor spades were blocked by Gordo's {K-Spades}

.

The turn was the {4-Spades}

and then the river the {A-Clubs}

. Gordo stood and raised his hands above his head in triumph as Crowe was sent to the rail.

Crowe final-tabled an event earlier this year for nearly $150,000 in prize money. He also made an even deeper run in last year's Main Event. There, Crowe finished in 15th place for over $435,000. Not a bad two years at the WSOP.
