Rodrigues Doubles Through Kopp Into Chip Lead
Level 29
: Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante
Mike Linster in the big blind, William Kopp under the gun, and Michael Rodrigues each committed 300,000 chips to see a flop of 6♥8♠8♣.
After a check from Linster, Kopp bet 350,000 which got a call from Rodrigues but a fold from Linster.
On the 8♦ turn, Kopp kept coming with a bet of 1,000,000. Again Rodrigues called, setting up the river 2♥.
Kopp now checked and Rodrigues shoved his remaining 3,615,000 stack into the middle.
Kopp thought for a couple of minutes and then made the call.
Rodrigues showed A♥A♦7♠2♣ for a full house of eights full of aces. Kopp showed A♠K♠9♠9♦ for an inferior full house of eights full of nines, sending a massive pot to Rodrigues who takes over the chip lead with that win.
