Powell Scores Double Elimination with the Nuts
Level 8
: 400/800, 800 ante
Mike Schneider open-jammed under the gun for 7,400 and was called by Reg Powell on the button. Action was on John Hanner who four-bet alll in for 16,500 from the small blind and was called by Powell after the big blind player folded.
Reg Powell: 
John Hanner: 
Mike Schneider: 
Schneider was ahead with his rockets and was looking good to score a triple-up until the 
flop hit the felt giving Powell the nut-flush draw while Hanner picked up and open-ended straight draw.
The 
came on the turn giving Hanner the straight but it also gave Powell the nut-flush and he eliminated both players after the meaningless 
river completed the board.
