Owen Eliminated After Missing All His Outs
Brad Owen was recently eliminated during Level 2 of the Main Event.
According to his former tablemates, a player in middle position opened and was called by Alvaro Vasquez in the next seat over. Brad Owen then three-bet to 3,500 in position, folding out the original raiser while Vasquez made the call.
On the rainbow 8♣7x5x flop Vasquez checked, Owen bet 4,500, Vasquez raised to 11,000 and Owen called.
Vasquez moved all in on the 4♣ turn and Owen, who had about 40,000 behind and was covered, made the call and was at risk.
Brad Owen: K♣9♣ 
Alvaro Vasquez: 9♥9♦
Vasquez was ahead with his overpair but Owen still had several outs in the form of any club or king while a six would chop the pot. The 2♥ river was a brick and Owen was sent to the rail early in the day while Vasquez picked up a sizable early pot.
