Powell Can't Beat Ace High

[user67765]

Julian Powell raised from the cutoff to 2,700 and David Steicke made the call on the button. The two took a flop of {8-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

{3-Diamonds}

{3-Clubs}

and both players checked.

The turn brought the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

and Powell fired out 4,000. Steicke made the call.

The river was the {9-Spades}

{9-Spades}

and both players checked again. Steicke confidently flipped over {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{2-Diamonds}

for just ace high, but again his read was good as Powell tossed his cards into the muck.
