Hopkins Fires on All Cylinders
Level 20
: 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Kevin Hopkins opened to a sizable 34,000 from under the gun six handed, and the others folded around to Patel in the big blind, who grabbed calling chips, put them back, then verbalized a call, throwing in the rest.
Hopkins continued for more than the pot—100,000—when checked to on 
, and Patel called fairly quickly.
Patel checked again on the 
turn, and Hopkins went all in. Patel quickly folded, leaving him with about half of the chips that he returned to from break.
