Ilaj Runs Into Kopernicky's Kings
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Ishaq Ilaj raised to 40,000 under the gun and Neil Wallace called in middle position. Martin Kopernicky then three-bet to 110,000 on the button and Ilaj moved all in for 350,000. Wallace folded, while Kopernicky quickly called.
Ishaq Ilaj: A♦Q♥
Martin Kopernicky: K♥K♠
Ilaj was looking for an ace to stay alive, but he missed the 10♣8♠5♠Q♦5♣ board and was sent to the rail.
"Only hand I could have," Wallace said, saying he had two jacks. He then told Barakat he had ace-king in the pot against him.
