Owen's Cowboys Downed by the Dead Man's Hand

Tim Baker

Level 3 : Blinds 200/400, 400 ante

Brad Owen raised to 1,000 from early position, with Ahamad Meman calling in the hijack and David Nunez calling on the button.

Owen fired a continuation-bet of 1,500 on the 8♠3♥Q♥ flop, and only Meman called.

The board-pairing 8♦ on the turn brought a second barrel from Owen, this time for 4,000. Again, Meman called.

The 10♦ completed the board, and Owen jammed, covering Meman. Meman quickly called for his stack of 17,400.

Owen tabled K♣K♥ for an overpair, but it was second best to Meman's A♣8♣ for turned trip eights.
