Coppola Gets Quartered

Share on Twitter Share on Facebook

Another interesting hand between Fabio Coppola and Josh Schlein, and this time most of it went to Schlein.

Coppola in the big blind called a raise from Schlein, and then check-called on the {8-Hearts}

{8-Hearts}

{A-Diamonds}

{4-Hearts}

flop. He checked the {4-Spades}

{4-Spades}

turn and Schlein bet again. "Do you really think I'm going to fold?" asked Coppola -- naturally, he called.

Both players checked the {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

river and it went to showdown. Perhaps Coppola should have folded -- they both held the nut low and a pair of aces, but Coppola's kicker wasn't good enough and Schlein took three quarters of the pot.

Coppola: {A-Hearts}

{A-Hearts}

{J-Spades}

{10-Spades}

{2-Clubs}

Schlein:

{A-Spades}

{K-Spades}

{Q-Hearts}

{2-Hearts}
