Katie Kopp Falls Short of Back-to-Back Bracelet Glory
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
As we approached the money bubble reigning champion Katie Kopp was forced all in by the mandatory post of the big blind. Consequently, Michael Liang limped on the button and Mario Romera completed out of the small blind putting Kopp at risk.
The board ran out A♣K♠J♦10♥3♦ as both Romera and Liang checked down on every street.
Liang was first to table K♣2♦ for second pair which was good enough to beat both Romera's Jx6x and Kopp's 8♠4♦.
The back-to-back bracelet dream for Kopp was over as she busts two players away from the money.
