Powell Bluffs Fitoussi

We arrived at the table to see the board reading {J-Clubs} {K-Hearts} {3-Spades} {5-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} and Bruno Fitoussi in the small blind position betting out 12,000 into the already enormous pot. Over to Brian Powell on the button -- who raised to cover Fitoussi.

There followed some minutes of alternating dwelling and gesticulating, before Fitoussi eventually folded. Powell showed him {9-Hearts} {3-Hearts}.

"Damn, Kentucky, you're really playing, boy!" said tablemate Tony Cousineau. "Well, I got to do it once," Powell drawled back.

He raked in the huge pot and asked the dejected Fitoussi, "Jack?" Worse -- Fitoussi told him he had {K-?} {Q-?}.

Powell - already chip leader before the hand, now massive chip leader on 170,000
Fitoussi - down to 22,000
