Power Takes Out Two for Chip Lead
Level 3
: Blinds 200/300, 300 ante
The under-the-gun player limped in before Chad Power made it 1,000 from the button. The small blind three-bet to 3,100 and the original limper called. Power then committed his stack of 26,500 and the small blind, who had 25,000, did the same. The under-the-gun player also put his 20,000 stack across the line to set up the three-way all in.
Under the gun: K♠5♦4♣3♦
Small Blind: A♦A♠10♣6♣
Chad Power: A♣Q♥Q♠3♣
The 9♦8♣5♥ flop kept the small blind's aces ahead for the entire pot, but the 4♠ turn saw Power take the low for at least half of the pot. The 2♥ river completed Power's nut-low and wheel straight for the scoop, scoring him two eliminations and the chip lead early on.
