Bower Booming with a Boat

Level 2 : 100/200, 0 ante

Despite not having many live results on his record, Brad Bower is certainly one of the most feared players at any poker table in Australia. Playing under his screen name "BaZa88", Bower has more than 1.5 million in tournament results on PokerStars alone. Bower will be looking to add a large sum to his live record this week and if thing keep traveling the way today has started, then Bower has every chance to do just that.

We recently arrived at Bower's table on the turn of a {5-Spades}{q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{6-Hearts} board with Bower in a hand against Nino Marotta. There was a sizable pot building at this stage, with Bower leading out for 2,200. Marotta made the call and the dealer flipped over a {5-Clubs} river. This time Bower bet 6,500 and Marotta made a fairly quick call.

At showdown, Bower tabled {3-Spades}{3-Hearts} for a full house and Marotta hesitated before mucking his cards. Bower asked Marotta if he had a flush and Marotta sort of nodded as he counted his chip stack.
