Powell Has Bountiful Amount of Time on His Hands

[user92162]

Julian Powell Eliminated

Preflop, the pot was opened to 150, with Powell and another player both calling before Sami Chamoun made it 750. The original raiser got out of the way, and Powell pumped all of his 2,500 chip stack into the middle. The action passed back to Chamoun, who made an instant call and tabled {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

{q-Diamonds}

and found himself racing against Powell's {A-Diamonds}

{A-Diamonds}

{K-Diamonds}

.

Chamoun looked to be better on the flop of {2-Spades}

{2-Spades}

{9-Hearts}

{10-Spades}

, but Powell hit the turn {a-Spades}

{a-Spades}

. However, Chamoun still had plenty of outs with a flush redraw going to the river.

The river {8-Spades}

{8-Spades}

would take Chamoun home and claim Powell's bounty. Powell hits the rail, among a flurry of other eliminations, as today's action starts with a bang.
