Just What the Doctor Ordered

Jack "Doctor Fun" Powell just received a well-timed double-up from Donald Offord.

Action folded to Offord in the cutoff who opened to 20,000. The button folded, and Powell moved all-in for 122,000 from the small blind. The big blind released, and Offord tank-called.

Offord: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Hearts}
Powell: {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}

Offord jumped out to a lead after the dealer flopped {Q-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}, but Powell was drawing to a flush. Powell hit his flush with the {6-Diamonds} on the turn, and after the {2-Hearts} blanked on the river he was awarded the pot to more than double to 260,000 chips.

Offord slipped to 405,000 chips.
