Ray Powell (RI) had his BEST showing ever in a Monthly. He was chip leader early in the afternoon and played great to make the Final Table.

He ran pretty card dead and Maria Swift (no relation to Taylor), knocked him out in 9th.

Ray had pocket tens against Maria’s A♣ J♥. The flop ran A♦ K♣ Q♦. At this point, Ray needed a jack on the turn or river to stay alive. The turn was the 3♥ and the river was the 7♠.

Good Game Sir!
