No Action for Powell

One table seems to be keeping itself above the frenzied action around it. Perhaps it's because some of the players would rather not tangle with Julian Powell, Celina Lin, and Joachim Chia, and are waiting to get broken to softer pastures. But the raise-and-take-it pattern is boring Powell. He raised to 1,100 from middle position, and action folded to Chia in the big blind. Chia is a star in Singapore, where he won his buy-in to the APPT Macau Main Event on the reality show Asian Poker Showdown. "Come on, gamble Singapore," Powell goaded. "So close," Chia said as he mucked, earning some more chiding from Powell.
