The Bowker hand is interesting. I suppose I can see it under the right circumstances (though would likely never fold it myself), especially if the one of the sevens on board was a spade. Main event, nitty old guy at the table, makes an overbet raise on the river where he has zero bluffs, and you lose to two combos in his range.. Obviously worried he is doing it with a big boat, but maybe the action up to that point did not point towards KK/99/JJ

Totally agree. Guessing Bowker was thinking that there are so many possibilities out there, the nit does not shove with anything short of straight flush.
It's not bad until you know the exact action of the hand. If Bowker is repping a boat and villain is a super nit postflop that shoves with no KK/JJ/99 in his range(flatted pre), then it could be a +EV fold.
Anyone supporting a fold is insane.
1) he's thousands of players from the money
2) he can have ~300,000 in chips at 4/800
3) not just be average chips thousands from the money
4) showing it is a disaster because it's so hard to make the nuts and have someone go full monkey and bluff at you.
5) it's quads and so many full house opportunities
6)if the 7s is on board it's even more lol bad. Since all boats are surely to shove regardless if it went checked to the river
