Coppola Sinks His Fangs Into Bejedal
Earlier in the day we reported on the Ted Forrest double up hand (AA v KK) and the unfortunate loser was Dennis Bejedal. After that hand Bejedal was down but not out until just moments ago when Manuel Coppola finished him off.
Amerigo Santoro opened with a raise of 825 and Bejedal moved all-in for 5,525. Coppola was next to act and he made the call. It was obvious by the look on his face that Ted Forrest had a difficult decision to make but eventually he surrendered his hand. Back to Santoro who folded and we had heads up action.
Bejedal: 
Coppola: 
Board: 
Coppola doubled up after unknowingly spiking the only remaining ace in the deck.
"I would have won a big pot off you then. I folded ace-jack," said Forrest.
"I folded ace-queen," Santoro chipped in.
Well Coppola didn't fold his ace-king and he now has 86,875
