Lati Triples; Cooper Doubles

Level 33 : Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Rocco Iati
Rocco Iati

Ryan Cooper raised to 825,000 from the cutoff, and Rocco Iati three-bet to 4,000,000 from the small blind with just 500,000 behind. Qing Sun cold-called from the big blind, prompting Cooper to jam for around 7,700,000 total.

Sun snap-called out of turn, and Cooper turned over pocket aces with Iati still to act. Iati thought for a while to ladder up the pay jump, and once it was secured, he put in the call.

Rocco Iati: 44 All in
Ryan Cooper: AA All in
Qing Sun: AK

Cooper had the preflop nuts and if he could fade a bad runout, would boost his stack to one of the biggest in the tournament.

The 769 flop left Sun needing running kings to win the pot.

A 4 hit the turn to all but secure the triple-up for Iati, and when the Q completed the board, Iati tripled up, Cooper lost a small chunk of chips, while Sun took the biggest hit after losing around half his stack.
