Bronshtein Breaks Half Million
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 60,000 chips already in the pot, the rest of Wesley Cooper's chips flew in on a turn of 6♦5♠7♥2♠. He was looked up by Yuval Bronshtein, who played the covering stack.
Wesley Cooper: A♠K♦J♠7♣3♠ 
Yuval Bronshtein: A♥K♠6♥4♥3♥
The river fell the J♥, missing Cooper's flush draw, which meant that Bronshtein's six-high straight awarded him the high half while chopping the low pot with Cooper, since both had A-3 for the nut low, getting him three quarters in total.
