Kopp's in Charge

Billy Kopp was in the big blind to start a hand that wound up as a three-way flop. He was the second player to call Kevin Schaffel's raise from middle position to 425,000. Darvin Moon, sitting with the button, was the first.

All three men checked a non-threatening flop of {2-Spades} {6-Clubs} {j-Hearts}. When the turn paired jacks, {J-Spades}, Kopp took control of the situation by betting 760,000. Only Schaffel called.

The river was the {Q-Clubs}. Kopp continued his charge by firing out a bet of 2.6 million. That was too much for Schaffel. He folded.
