Hurry Up and Win, Cooper!
It was the battle of the blinds with Ronald Moore raising to 130,000 from the small blind and Daniel Cooper in the big blind called.
The flop came 5♦A♥3♠. Moore continued with 100,000 and once again Cooper called.
Relentless, Moore fired another 200,000 on the J♦ turn which Cooper called again.
Finally, on the river 9♥, Moore put in 400,000 that covered what Cooper had left behind. Cooper went into the tank, considering his options. He apologized for taking so much time. The floor arrived after clock was called on him.
On the final 5 seconds, Cooper made the call. Moore tabled J♠8♠ prompting Cooper to let out a sigh of relief as he turned over A♦7♣ fr top pair.
He apologized to the other players as he scooped the pot. James Traber, who was also at the table and was showing the most impatience, said, "We knew you were going to win. That's why we wanted you to hurry up."
