Kupin Scores a Double Elimination
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Erwann Pecheux opened to 12,000 from early position and was called by Zdenek Zizka to his left. Aaron Kupin in the next seat squeezed to 42,000, then Adam Yellin on the button jammed for 18,000.
The action went to Ludovic Uzan in the big blind who went into the tank for more than two minutes. The clock was called and he eventually moved all-in as well for 57,000. Both Pecheux and Zizka folded but Kupin snap-called.
Adam Yellin: A♥K♣
Ludovic Uzan: Q♠Q♥
Aaron Kupin: K♥K♦
Kupin's kings held on 3♥4♠5♣3♦J♠ so both Yellin and Uzan were eliminated. Zizka said that he would have made quads.
