Powell Gets the Royal Treatment

Powell down to one third of his starting stack

Julian Powell raised to 700 after one limper. The big blind, Phillip Kober, and the limper called. The flop came down {A-Diamonds} {K-Hearts} {Q-Diamonds} and Kober checked to the preflop limper. He fired 1,000 before Powell raised to 3,000. Kober made the call as did the limper.

The turn brought the {J-Diamonds}. Action checked to Powell and he fired 5,500. Both his opponents made the call.

The river was the {9-Clubs} and Kober was first to act. He fired 8,000. Powell went into the tank after the player in middle position folded. A player eventually called the clock on Powell. Within the allotted minute, Powell made the call.

After Powell called, Kober tabled his powerhouse with the {K-Diamonds} {10-Diamonds}. That's right folks, a royal flush! Powell mucked his hand, dropping to 10,000.
