Kopp Spikes the River to Double
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action was picked up on the turn in a hand between former champion Joshua Kopp from the small blind and Varun Uppal from early position.
With the board reading 10♦7♠6♥3♠, Kopp jammed for his last 15,500 and Uppal decided to call as the covering stack.
Joshua Kopp: A♠J♠ 
Varun Uppal: Q♥10♥
Uppal was ahead with top pair but Kopp held the nut flush draw and overs. The dealer peeled the J♦ on the river to give Kopp the winner as he found the full double.
