Koppel Approaching Two Million With Elimination of Oliphant
Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante
Following a raise to 40,000 by Ryan Bambrick in middle position, Phillip Oliphant called in the hijack, as did Jared Koppel in the big blind.
The flop came 10♣K♣7♠ and after a pair of checks, Oliphant bet 150,000. Koppel then potted it to 600,000, which got a fold, but Oliphant called off his roughly 250,000 chip stack.
Phillip Oliphant: A♣8♣4♥3♣
Jared Koppel: K♠10♠10♥8♦
Koppel's set of tens was ahead of Oliphant's flush draw and backdoor low draw, and after the Q♦ turn and 8♥ river, Koppel made Oliphant the latest in a steady flow of eliminations throughout the day with dinner coming up shortly.
