Sowers Kicks It Up a Gear

After being fortunate to still be alive in this tournament a short time ago, Mike Sowers has now kicked it up a gear after collecting a generous pot without showdown.

On a flop of {A-Spades}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}, Faraz Jaka checked over to Olivier Busquet who fired 55,000. Sowers made the call in position, before Jaka check-raised to 165,000. Busquet folded as Sowers called once again.

The turn brought the {8-Clubs} and Jaka checked to Sowers, who moved all in forcing a fold from his opponent.

A strange sequence of betting but a great result for Sowers as he's now up to 730,000 chips.
