Event 9: William Kopp Approaching Five Million

$570 Deep Stack No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 28: 30,000/60,000 with a 10,000 ante
Players Remaining: 30 of 2,923

William Kopp opened the button with a raise, and Mark Dube three-bet to 340,000 in the small blind. Kopp called.

The flop was As8s5d. Dube continued for 275,000, and Kopp called. Both players checked through the Ks turn and 9c river.

At showdown, Dube tabled Kh2h for a pair of kings, but Kopp’s Ah7h earned him the pot with a pair of aces. It wasn’t the biggest pot of the day, but it’s a significant one for both players. Kopp is now closing in on the five-million-chip mark, and he’s starting to open up a bit of a gap on the chase pack.

William Kopp – 4,875,000 (81 bb)
Mark Dube – 2,280,000 (38 bb)
