Hand #83 – Blake Cahail raises from late position to 125,000, Mike Sowers calls from the button, and Chris Ferguson calls from the big blind. The flop comes [KhJd9h], Ferguson and Cahail both check, Sowers bets 250,000, Ferguson folds, and Cahail moves all in.
Sowers calls with a shorter stack, showing [KsQh] (pair of kings, gutshot straight draw). Cahail shows [Ah5h] for a heart flush draw, and he’ll need to improve to bust Sowers here.
The turn is the [6s], the river is the [9c], and Mike Sowers wins the pot with a pair of kings to double up into the chip lead.
Mike Sowers – 3,225,000
Blake Cahail – 1,750,000
