Powell Runs Nice Bluff

Julian Powell
Julian Powell
Julian Powell is now up to 78,000, thanks to a well-timed bluff. Holding {10-Clubs}{8-Clubs} Powell flopped a flush draw on a seven-high board and called the bet of his opponent. The turn was a repeat seven, and Powell raised his opponent's bet on a semi-bluff. His opponent made the call.

The river was a blank and Powell shoved all in, forcing his opponent to fold pocket nines face up as Powell's ten-high took down the pot.
