Powell's Got Yo' Chips, Fo' Mizz-le

Over on table 15, we've just witnessed Sorel Mizzi and Julian Powell clash heads, with Powell coming out on top to double up.

The action folded to Mizzi who raised to 1,400 from the hijack position; Powell called from the cutoff, so off they went heads-up to the flop of {J-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Hearts}.

Mizzi led out for 3,050, but Powell quickly raised to 10,500. Mizzi called, then bet out 20,000 on the turn of the {4-Spades}, putting Powell all-in, but despite holding {K-}{Q-}{J-}{X-}, Powell had hit the set with his {A-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{J-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}. The river {3-Clubs} was merely an afterthought.
