Action was opened from the cutoff to 4,000 by James Scoppa. The next player to act on the button took their time and then landed on a three-bet to 11,500. It folded back around to Scoppa who put in the four-bet all in to about 28,000. The button snap called.
James Scoppa: A♦A♣
Button: Q♣Q♦
The full board ran out 3♦K♠J♥4♠J♠ and Scoppa would get some much needed chips after being on the correct side of a cooler.

The PokerStars North American Poker Tour (NAPT) is returning after a 12-year hiatus, and where better to get the show on the road than fabulous Las Vegas? November 4-12 are the dates to highlight in your diaries because that is when NAPT Las Vegas heads to Resorts World in "Sin City."

Although primarily aimed at the North American market, the NAPT is open to all, and PokerNews expects players to travel from far and wide to get involved in this historic rebirth. A $1,650 buy-in NAPT Las Vegas Main Event runs from November 6-11, and a $550 PokerStars Cup is scheduled for November 9-12, with a $5,300 High Roller attracting the biggest names between November 10-12. The full 2023 NAPT Las Vegas schedule will be released in due course.
Steve Preiss, Vice President for PokerStars North America, cannot wait for the first NAPT in 12 years to shuffle up and deal at Resorts World.
"We are delighted to announce the return of this iconic series and once again hold the NAPT for poker players in North America. We're working hard to ensure this is a spectacular series and can't wait to head to Las Vegas to get the show on the road."
