Cooper Makes a "Casino Royale"

Level 14 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Joe Cooper moved all in for 48,000 from early position and Juliano Destro called on the button.

Joe Cooper: AJ All in
Juliano Destro: AK

"No jack. I want to make a Casino Royale," Destro pleaded, but the dealer turned over the AJ3 flop that gave Cooper two pair and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 103 and Cooper doubled up.

"Casino Royale," tablemate Greg Davis said as he pointed to Cooper's cards, and Destro laughed off the beat.
