Lowrie's River Over-Bet Gets Paid to Push Him Into the Chip Lead

Level 20
: 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante
Zac Lowrie opened with a raise to 34,000 from the cutoff and he found a call from Sayed Jabbour in the small blind.
The flop came down and both players checked to see the
on the turn. There, Jabbour checked. Lowrie put out a bet of 38,000. Jabbour called.
The river was the and Jabbour checked. Lowrie then put together a bet of 240,000, much more than the size of the pot. Jabbour didn't waste too long before calling. Lowrie showed down his
for two pair and a frustrated Jabbour showed his
for a worse two pair.
With that pot, Lowrie breached one million chips and sits as the current chip leader with about 1,350,000 chips.
