Powell's Bounty is Claimed

Julian Powell - Eliminated
Julian Powell - Eliminated
Roy Vandersluis called Julian Powell's all-in bet before the flop holding just one overcard to Powell's black pair of tens. Vandersluis choose to battle with Powell holding the {A-Clubs} {8-Clubs}.

Vandersluis flopped gold when the dealer spread the first three community cards: {A-Diamonds} {8-Hearts} {8-Diamonds}. Powell was unable to extract one of the two remaining tens from the deck on the turn and river as the {2-Hearts} and {6-Clubs} finished off the board.

Vandersluis jumped to 15,000 chips after the land and pocketed $500 for the bounty on Powell's head.
