Level 2 : 100/200, 200 ante
Dan Goepel
Dan Goepel

Action was picked up on the turn with 5,800 already in the middle, between three players including Dan Goepel in the small blind.

The board read {5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{j-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and Goepel checked to the big blind who bet 3,600. The player in the cutoff moved all-in for 21,100 and Goepel moved all-in for 38,500. The big blind thought about it for a bit, but ultimately let his hand go.

Cutoff: {j-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}
Dan Goepel: {q-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

The river {10-Spades} did not change anything and the 2015 MSPT Milwaukee champion soared to the top of the chip counts.

Colin Ball raised to 300 in the cutoff and was called by one player in the small blind.

The flop of {6-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{k-Spades} checked through to the {4-Diamonds} that saw the small blind check to Ball who bet 300 and the small blind snap-raised to 2,000 which Ball called.

The river came the {a-Clubs} saw both player check and Ball turned over {k-Hearts}{7-Spades} for a pair of kings, which was good for the pot as his opponent mucked his hand.
