Cowan Eliminated

From the cutoff, Tony Cowan raised all in preflop for 2,375. Antonio Fazzolari made the call from the button.

"If you got an ace, you got me," said Cowan to Fazzolari, turning over {K-Diamonds} {J-Spades}.

"Nope, no ace," responded Fazzolari as he rolled over a dominated {Q-Hearts} {J-Hearts}.

The flop -- {Q-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} {10-Spades} -- gave Fazzolari the lead with two pair, but it did gave Cowan a pair and a straight draw.

The turn was the {3-Diamonds} and then the river the {6-Diamonds}, which wasn't what Cowan was looking for. He was eliminated on the hand with Fazzolari jumping up to 26,000 chips.
