Kapnopoulos Scores a Triple Knockout
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Jason Ryan was all in for about 55,000 from the hijack and Miguel Capriles called in the cutoff. Michael Berk then moved all in on the button for around 350,000, and Ran Yi called for his stack of 300,000 in the small blind. Ioannis Kapnopoulos, sitting on the chip lead, also called with the chance to bust three players, and Capriles folded.
Jason Ryan: A♠J♦
Michael Berk: A♣J♥
Ran Yi: Q♥Q♠
Ioannis Kapnopoulos: K♠K♥
Kapnopoulos held the best hand with pocket kings, and after flopping a set on the 3♣9♦K♦ board, his opponents were left needing a miracle to survive.
The rest of the board ran out Q♦2♣, giving Kapnopoulos the triple knockout as his stack soared to around three million.
