Capriles Snap-Calls Coppola's River Bluff
Level 28
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Miguel Capriles open-raised to 180,000 from early position with A♥K♥ and Khossein Kokhestani called on the button with K♣Q♠, and Enrico Coppola called with J♥9♥ in the big blind.
The flop was dealt A♠8♥4♥ to give Capriles top pair and a flush draw. Coppola also picked up a flush draw, although he would be in trouble if it hit.
Coppola checked, Capriles bet 300,000 and Kokhestani folded. Coppola called to take the action to the 4♣ turn. Coppola checked and Capriles checked it back.
The river came the 6♠ and Coppola fired out 1,000,000 as a bluff with his missed flush draw. Capriles snap-called the bet for half of his stack with his pair of aces to win the 1,780,000 pot.
