Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Jeffrey Copeland raised to 1,000 from middle position and was called by Keith Heine in the hijack and a player in the big blind.

The flop rolled out A♣Q♣9♠ and the big blind checked to Copeland who bet 1,500 which the big blind called.

On the turn J♣, the big blind checked a second time over to Copeland who moved all in for 10,000 which sent his opponent into the tank. After a while, the big blind flashed an A♦ and mucked his hand.

"I've gotta turn these into bluffs to win," Copeland remarked before flashing K♦K♣ and the St. Louis regular raked in the pot.
