Howes Avoids the Kane
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Brandon Harris opened to 2,200 from under the gun and got called by Adam Howes & Kelvin Cheng before Michael Kane made a healthy squeeze from the big blind. Harris folded, Howes called off his stack of 16,000, and Cheng folded.
Adam Howes: K♠Q♠ 
Michael Kane: A♦Q♣
Howes was hesitant to reveal his cards and was met with a "What happened, did you change your mind?" from one of his tablemates.
Not much changed on the 4♠8♥6♥ flop, but the J♠ turn did give Howes some more outs as he picked up a flush draw. It wasn't the flush that Howes spiked on the river, but instead the K♦ gave him a pair and earned him a double-up.
