Cowen Snags a Big One Before Break

Level 28
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

With a decent-sized pot built already by the turn, Conor Beresford bet 225,000 from the big blind into Robert Cowen on a board. Cowen then raised to 775,000 and Beresford called.
On the river, Beresford checked to Cowen, who bet 960,000. He didn't look thrilled, but Beresford put in calling chips to see Cowen turn over
for top two pair, which earned a pot big enough to give Cowen half the chips in play.
