River Saves Powers
Level 13
: Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante
Stephen Lofgren moved all in from under the gun for his last 48,000, and Michael Powers made the call in middle position. Lisa Koch then announced all in from the hijack, and Powers called off the rest of his stack.
Stephen Lofgren: A♦8♥ 
Michael Powers: J♣J♦
Lisa Koch: K♣K♦
Koch's pocket kings stayed in front through the Q♦8♣9♠ flop and 4♠ turn. Powers then asked for a ten, and his request was granted as the 10♥ fell on the river to complete his straight.
Powers collected a sizeable pot, while Lofgren was sent to the rail.
