Powell Vaults Into the Lead on the Last Hand
Level 15
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Around 120,000 was in the middle as Alex Powell and Mikiyo Aoki went to the turn on a board of 10♣Q♥Q♦6♥. Powell then put in big shove for 533,000 from the small blind, sending Aoki deep into the tank. She eventually called with A♠Q♠ for trips, but Powell had 10♠10♥ for a flopped full house.
"I almost folded," Aoki said as the 3♦ fell on the river. Powell took down the massive pot worth more than 1,200,000 as he catapulted into the chip lead on the last hand of the night.
