Sowers Soars To Chip Lead

[user80015]

With around 11,000 in the pot and a flop reading {10-Clubs} {6-Hearts} {J-Clubs} , Marco Fantini checked to Mike Sowers who fired out 8,700.

After a call in between, Dmitriy Shilnikov made it 35,000 only to have Fantini move all in along with Sowers as Shilnikov made the call for his tournament life.

Fantini: {9-Clubs} {8-Clubs}
Sowers: {J-Diamonds} {J-Hearts}
Shilnikov: {6-Clubs} {6-Spades}

The turn paired the board, but it happened to be a good one for Sowers, as it was the {10-Diamonds} before the safe {5-Clubs} fell on the river to send him to 280,000 as both his opponents were eliminated
