Powell Gets a Sweat against Sowers
Level 5
: 300/600, 600 ante
After an open from Steve Sowers and a few calls, short-stacked Clint Powell moved all in for his last 8,700.
Sowers made the call while the other two players quickly got out of the way and the cards were tabled
Clint Powell: 9♣9♠
Steve Sowers: A♣J♣
"Nice hand," Sowers said as a nine appeared in the window but did not yet see the cards behind it as it came 9♥A♥A♠. Powell had a made hand with his full house but it was a sweat as any ace, jack, or running pair would knock his down.
Luckily for him, the runout came 6♣K♥ for his nines full to hold and he was awarded the double-up.
"Were you scared?" The dealer joked to Powell as he pushed him the pot, who laughed and nodded his head.
