Powell Ends Hammarstrom's Winning Streak
Level 6
: Blinds 400/800, 800 ante
Nicholas Hammarstrom limped in from the small blind before Alex Powell raised to 3,200 in the big blind. Hammarstrom called, and they saw a flop of 9♥9♦3♥.
Powell then bet 3,000 and Hammarstrom called. Powell bet another 3,000 on the 3♣ turn, and Hammarstrom again called.
Both players checked the 9♣ river, and Powell showed 5♣5♠. Hammarstrom flashed two fours and mucked.
"That's the first hand you've lost today," Powell told him.
