Hollywood Poker Open Season 4 Lawrenceburg Regional Main Event
We walked up to a board of and Shawn Bowen was heads up with Keven Stammen. Bowen check-called a bet of 42,000 and the
landed on the turn. Bowen again check-called, this time for 83,000. After the
fell on the river and another check from Bowen, Stammen announced "all in", and was met with an immediate call from Bowen for his final 280,000.
Bowen tabled and his two pair was good, as Stammen mucked and was left decimated with only 68,000 in chips remaining. The huge double gives Bowen over 900,000 in chips.

We didn't catch the action, but Michael Filippidis was fairly short and he was eliminated in 15th place.
