Copeland Picks Up Aces to Double
Level 27
: Blinds 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Joseph Ferguson raised to 250,000 on the button, Jeff Copeland three-bet to 450,000 in the small blind, and Ferguson called.
Copeland checked the 9♠6♥3♦ flop, and Ferguson moved all in. Copeland snap-called for 700,000.
Jeff Copeland: A♦A♥
Joseph Ferguson: 10♥9♦
Ferguson had flopped top pair, but Copeland turned over two aces and was poised for the double up. The board ran out Q♥2♣, and Copeland took down the pot.
"I only didn't play a hand for two and a half hours," Copeland said.
