Hooper Stays In The Tournament
Level 19
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action was caught when Michael Hooper was at risk for 115,000 chips against the player on the button.
Michael Hooper: K?J?
Button: 10?10?
On the flop 7?A?7?, Hooper was closer than ever to the exit. But a lucky K? on the turn saved him, before the 4? on the river that validated his double up.
But even if Hooper is up to 260,000, this is nothing compared to his neighbor Romain Kowalczyk. After he won "a pot of 400,000 chips", the Frenchman now has over 1,300,000 chips.
