Julian Powell Picks His Spot

Julian Powell

Brandon Moran opened the action with a raise to 18,000 from late position. Marty Smyth made the call from the cutoff, and in the next seat over, Julian Powell reraised the pot, making it 81,000 total. Moran folded, and Smyth, now heads up, reraised enough to put Powell at risk. Powell called, and the hands were shown down:

Smyth: {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {9-Clubs} {5-Clubs}
Powell: {Q-Spades} {Q-Hearts} {6-Spades} {5-Hearts}

The board ran down {4-Spades} {6-Diamonds} {2-Clubs} {3-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. Powell finds some the cards he's looking for, making a straight on the turn and moving him well up out of the danger zone. He now sits with 255,000 chips, near the middle of the pack. Smyth is in that range too, after being knocked back to 281,000.
