Kane Sherwell Battling Hard

It's not been an easy day for 2009 Victorian Poker Championships Main Event Runner Up Kane Sherwell. Thanks to Julian Powell he should have at least have a workable amount of chips heading into day two.

Preflop Sherwell limped in and Powell made it 4,700 to go. Sherwell decided to have a look at the {j-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}{a-Clubs} flop.

Both players checked the flop and proceeded to the {Q-Clubs} turn. On the turn Sherwell shipped in his final 10,000 with Powell making the call.

Sherwell {Q-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Powell {A-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}

The {3-Spades} blanked the river to move Sherwell over 30,000. Powell has about 75,000.
