Powers Pushes Out a Poker Hall of Famer

We caught the action with four players in the hands, 1,000 in the pot, and a flop reading {3-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-Spades}. Luke Powers had checked from the small blind, and a player in early position bet 325. Poker Hall of Famer T.J. Cloutier then called from the cutoff, the button did the same, and Powers woke up with a check-raise to 1,600.

One by one his opponents folded, prompting the original bettor to say, "You've got to show it."

"I got lucky. I followed his lead," Powers said pointing to a play across the table without showing his hand.

"{A-}{3-}?" the original bettor asked. Powers responded in the affirmative.

"I folded {A-Spades}{7-Spades}," Cloutier volunteered.
