Tancredi's Ace-King Crushes Kopp's Aces
Level 15
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
After a preflop betting war, Eddie Tancredi and Billy Kopp got all of their chips into the middle, with Kopp covering.
Eddie Tancredi: A?K?
Billy Kopp: A?A?
Tancredi would need a tremendous amount of help to stay alive, especially after the flop came 3?J?Q? to give Kopp the nut flush draw.
The turn 3? left Tancredi drawing to three outs of a non-spade ten, but miraculously, the 10? smacked on the river to give him Broadway and he was awarded the massive pot while the Kopp and the rest of the table were stunned.
