Coppola Gets Quartered

[user46392]

Another interesting hand between Fabio Coppola and Josh Schlein, and this time most of it went to Schlein.

Coppola in the big blind called a raise from Schlein, and then check-called on the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

flop. He checked the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

turn and Schlein bet again. "Do you really think I'm going to fold?" asked Coppola -- naturally, he called.

Both players checked the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

river and it went to showdown. Perhaps Coppola should have folded -- they both held the nut low and a pair of aces, but Coppola's kicker wasn't good enough and Schlein took three quarters of the pot.

Coppola: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

Schlein:

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}
