Hasta la Vista, Juan!

A very aggressive Brian Powell has just eliminated Juan Carlos Mortensen from the Main Event.

Powell had been raising practically every other hand before this one came up. Powell opened the pot with a raise to 850 and when the action got around to Mortensen, he moved all in for a total of 5,500. Powell made the call and found himself racing with {A-Spades} {9-Spades} against Mortensen's {4-Spades} {4-Hearts}.

The board then ran out {9-Clubs} {5-Hearts} {9-Diamonds} {K-Spades} {6-Diamonds} giving Powell trips and cementing Mortensen's exit.

Powell stacked up approximately 23,000 in chips after the hand.
