Bowker in Control

There was a preflop raise and two callers, but we just walked up in time to catch the dealer spreading out a {10-Diamonds} {3-Spades} {3-Hearts} flop. Peter Jetten was in the big blind, and he tapped the table. The preflop raiser continued out with a bet of 350, Kyle Bowker called on the button, and Jetten ducked out of the pot.

The turn {8-Hearts} drew another bet from the raiser, 700 this time. Bowker furrowed his brow and gave a good long stare before stacking out the call and tumbling it forward. That brought them to the {K-Diamonds} river, and there was no slowing down now. Bowker saw his opponent fire one last bullet of 1,775 chips, and he called rather quickly this time.

The bettor pushed his cards toward the muck, but the dealer gestured at them and said, "Showdown, please."

"I muck," said the bettor, pushing them further. The dealer looked a bit confused, but he pulled the cards into the trash pile, and Bowker showed {3-Clubs} {4-Clubs} for the pot. He's got 8,600 chips now, the biggest of the stacks we're tracking thus far.
