Saechao Lands the Death Blow, Coppola Completes the Job
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
An early position player got it all in, Kao Saechao called from late position and the button called.
Early Position: K♠J♠
Kao Saechao: 9♥9♦
Button: J♣J♦
Saechao spiked a nine for trips on a 8♠9♠A♦ flop, but still had to dodge the early position player's spades. A 2♦4♣ turn and river did the trick. Saechow eliminated the button and left the early position player with only enough for his big blind ante.
The next hand only Fabio Coppola in the small blind was willing to take on the all in big blind.
Fabio Coppola: A♦5♦
Big Blind: 8♥7♣
The big blind got no help from a 3♠5♥K♥2♠10♠ runout, slapped the table rail in defeat and made his way to the exit.
