Howard Wakes Up in the Big Blind

Level 14: Blinds 3k/6k/6k

RGPS Council Bluffs Main Event Champion Joshua Kupp moved all in under-the-gun for 107,000 and action folded around to Taylor Howard in the big blind.

"Well that's a key card," he said as he looked at his first card to show the K♠. He then slowly peeled the second card and revealed the A♠ and instantly made the call to put Kupp at risk.

Joshua Kupp: K♥10♦
Taylor Howard: A♠K♠

The flop came out A♣2♠K♣ which gave Howard a commanding lead with his top two pair and the turn 5♦ left Kupp drawing dead as the 5♣ completed the board.

Howard was shipped the sizeable pot to boost him up to 350,000 while Kupp was sent to the rail.
