Kopyl Takes Commanding Lead
Level 14
: 1,500/3,000, 500 ante
Wolfgang Jeindl tripled up with pocket nines versus 
versus ace-queen and the next pot was just a few minutes away. On the three-way flop of 
, Jeindl in the small blind was still in action while Waldemar Kopyl was in the big blind. Another big stack at the table was not willing to let go and a big check-raise was followed by the shove of the big stack.
Jeindl quickly got out of the way, but Kopyl snap-called for more than 200,000, having the other player covered. Kopyl showed 
and the other player turned over 
for top pair and no kicker. The 
turn and 
river completed the board and Kopyl's stack skyrocketed to almost half a million.
