With the Help of the Godfather

Fabio Coppola limped from under the gun, then called a raise to 750 from the small-blind player. The flop came {9-Hearts} {Q-Spades} {10-Spades}, prompting the small-blind player to lead out for 750. This was met with a raise to 2,350 by Coppola, which was called.

The turn came {7-Spades}, prompting the rest of the chips to go in. Coppola tabled {J-Spades} {K-Spades} for the flopped straight and turned flush. His opponent was drawing dead with {Q-Diamonds} {J-Diamonds}.

Coppola is back up to 14,300.
