Powell Over a Million

Brian Powell and Niklas Flisberg got all of the money in on the turn. Flisberg held {A-Spades} {2-Spades} and was crushed by Powell's {A-Hearts} {A-Diamonds}.

The flop only contained one spade when it came {K-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {Q-Clubs}. The turn brought a second spade to the board -- {J-Spades} -- giving Flisberg a flush draw and a straight draw to chop the pot and this is when all of the money went in. The river completed neither of those as the {3-Clubs} fell.

Flisberg was eliminated and Powell moved up to 1.04 million.
