Copeland Shoves Out Roll

Level 12 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

A massive pot was developing between Jeff Copeland and Frederick Roll as around 80,000 was already in the middle while they went heads-up to the 10K6 flop. Copeland then bet 30,000 from the hijack, and Roll called in middle position.

The turn was the 5 and Copeland moved all in. Roll quickly folded, and Copeland showed AK as he took the pot.

"That pot got big quick," Copeland said as he moved up past 300,000.

Spriggs Plays Anti-GTO Against Mabe

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Rodney Spriggs raised to 9,000 under the gun and Landon Mabe three-bet to 25,000 in the big blind. "I'm going against what the charts say. You f**k around too much," Spriggs said as he called.

Both players checked the K82 flop. Mabe also checked the 5 turn, and Spriggs bet 33,000. Mabe then moved all in for 48,000.

"I don't think I can fold anything. I might not have any outs," Spriggs said as he called with AQ, while Mabe had JJ. The river was the 7, and Mabe's jacks held on to earn him a double up.

Whiteside Denied a Double Knockout on the River

Level 11 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Bobby Nair limped in from the hijack before Matthew Riffel raised to 10,000 on the button. Dale Whiteside called in the big blind, while Nair then moved all in for 20,000. Riffel reshoved for 45,000, and Whiteside called to put both opponents at risk.

Bobby Nair: A6 All in
Matthew Riffel: A2 All in
Dale Whiteside: QJ

Whiteside took the lead on the K7J flop with a pair, and Nair and Riffel were down to just two outs after the 9 turn. They caught one of the last remaining aces on the A river, and they chopped up Whiteside's chips.

"Had them right where I wanted them. Couldn't have asked for a better spot," Whiteside lamented.
