The Great MJ Doubles Through the Chip Leader
Michael "Great MJ" Cooper opened for a min-raise to 48,000 and was called by Chris Thompson. Both players proceeded to check the 

flop, and then Thompson moved all in on the
turn. Cooper snap-called and the railbirds were on their feet.
Showdown
| Cooper | ![]() ![]() |
| Thompson | ![]() ![]() |
Cooper had the best hand with two pair, but he needed to sweat Thompson's flush and straight draws. "Don't you do it to me," Cooper told the dealer with a smile, and he didn't. The
fell harmlessly on the river and Cooper survived.
