Cooper Over One Million

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

From the button Alex Huot opened to 70,000 and Michael Cooper immediately responded with an all-in raise amounting to exactly 500,000. Once Phillip Stumbo folded in the big blind, Huot called.

Huot: {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}
Cooper: {A-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}

The board ran out {6-Spades}{6-Hearts}{K-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{8-Hearts} and Cooper double to over one million as Huot slipped to 380,000.

Alex Huot Eliminated in 3rd Place ($5,000)

Level 21 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante
Alex Huot - 3rd place
Alex Huot - 3rd place

Phillip Stumbo raised to 60,000 preflop and Alex Huot moved all in next to speak for 600,000. Stumbo called and the cards were tabled.

Stumbo: {Q-Clubs}{J-Clubs}
Huot: {A-Hearts}{K-Clubs}

The {6-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{2-Clubs} flop gave Stumbo additional outs, and when the {7-Clubs} landed on the turn he would take the lead.

With Huot now needing a fourth club to stay alive, the river landed the {4-Diamonds} and he was sent to the rail in 3rd place for a $5,000 payday.

Stumbo in Dire Straits

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Michael Cooper took command of the heads-up match with some strong preflop aggression to even things up and that continued when he made it 150,000 from the button. Phillip Stumbo called, and they took in a {3-Spades}{9-Spades}{3-Clubs} flop. Stumbo bet 150,000, and Cooper raised to 375,000. Stumbo wasted little time and moved all in.

"Shoulda kept it small," Cooper muttered to himself as he counted his remaining 500,000 or so. "If I fold, you'll have such a big chip lead on me."

He pushed his stack in.

Cooper: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Stumbo: {k-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

Stumbo's clubs served as blockers after the {4-Clubs} hit the turn to give Cooper more outs. The river was a {q-Spades}, and Cooper took nearly all of Stumbo's stack.
