Tancredi's Ace-King Crushes Kopp's Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Eddie Tancredi and Billy Kopp got all of their chips into the middle, with Kopp covering.
Eddie Tancredi: A♣K♦
Billy Kopp: A♠A♥
Tancredi would need a tremendous amount of help to stay alive, especially after the flop came 3♠J♠Q♠ to give Kopp the nut flush draw.
The turn 3♥ left Tancredi drawing to three outs of a non-spade ten, but miraculously, the 10♦ smacked on the river to give him Broadway and he was awarded the massive pot while the Kopp and the rest of the table were stunned.
