Coppola Gets Paid on the River; De La Fouchardiere Comes From Behind to Double
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Rui Ferreira three-bet to 45,000 in the small blind and Enrico Coppola called in the cutoff.
Both players checked to the river on a board of 7♣2♥9♥7♦8♥. Ferreira then checked again, but this time Coppola bet 105,000. Ferreira called, only to be showed A♥J♥ for a flush as Coppola took the pot.
At another table, Hugo De La Fouchardiere had shoved for 66,000 from the hijack and Georgios Vrakas called in the cutoff.
Hugo De La Fouchardiere: A♥7♥ 
Georgios Vrakas: A♠K♠
De La Fouchardiere was dominated and at risk, but the J♦7♠6♥ flop gave him the lead with a pair. The turn was the 3♣, while the 3♠ river sealed his double up.
