Powell Doubles Through Lunardi

Lundari: loses some chips
Lundari: loses some chips
All the money was in the middle between Kristian Lunardi and Julian Powell on a flop of {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}. We caught the action just as the cards were being tabled:

Powell: {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}
Lunardi: {J-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

Powell was well ahead with two pair, but Lunardi still had a chance to knock him out with the flush draw.

However the turn and river ran out {5-Spades}{5-Diamonds}, seeing Lundari drop to 18,000 while Powell doubled through, now up to 31,000.
