An Ugly Exit for Julian Powell

Julian Powell eliminated
Julian Powell eliminated
Julian Powell must have sensed weakness. In a raising war with Michael Wong, Wong made it 1,000; Powell made it 3,200; and Wong went all in for 18,600. Powell snap-called for slightly less, tabling {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds} in the process. His instinct was correct. Wong was very weak, showing {7-Diamonds} {8-Spades}. But every poker player knows the prayer of the all-in player with "two live cards." The flop of {10-Spades} {A-Spades} {6-Spades} hit both players. Powell made top pair; Wong caught a gutshot straight draw and flush draw. The gutshot completed with the {9-Clubs} turn, sending Powell to the exit.
