Powell Eliminated; Khalil Leads!

Julian Powell crashes out
Julian Powell crashes out
Julian Powell raised to 14,000 from late position with Ali Khalil calling out of the small blind.

They took the flop heads up, which landed {A-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}. Khalil checked and Powell made a continuation bet of 23,000. Khalil check-raised to 65,000 and Powell moved all in for another 221,000. Khalil snap-called.

Showdown:
Khalil: {A-Spades}{9-Spades}
Powell: {J-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Khalil had two pair with Powell holding a pair and flush draw, however the case {9-Hearts} peeled off on the turn to give Khalil a full house and leave Powell drawing dead! A meaningless {3-Spades} on the river saw Powell depart as The Peppermint Hippo is now our chip leader with about 550,000 in chips!
