BIG O

There still have yet to be any eliminations at the Event 81 final table but John Cernuto and Rob Cowen are on two different ends of the spectrum after Cowen caught the biggest piece of a monster pot.

Veerachai Vongxaiburana opened to 16,000 in middle position and Cernuto three-bet to 60,000 in the hijack. Cowen called all-in for 48,000 on the button and Vongxaiburana committed calling chips as well.

Vongxaiburana moved all-in on the K♣6♠4♣ flop and Cernuto called for his last 75,000.

Cowen held A♥J♣7♣4♦2♦ for a flush draw and a nut low draw that matched Vongxaiburana’s low draw A♦10♣6♦3♠2♠. Cernuto’s cards were in the muck by the time the 5♠ and 3♣ board ran out but he managed to chop the side pot with Vongxaiburana.

Cowen scooped the high and half the low to move up to 110,000. Cernuto is down to 75,000 with Vongxaiburana playing 320,000, good for the current chip lead.
