Powell Runs Into a Crooked Kopp

From under the gun, Billy Kopp raised to 105,000. Brian Powell reraised from middle position to 400,000. Action folded back over to Kopp and he announced that he was all in, putting the pressure back on Powell. There wasn't much pressure as Powell quickly called with pocket kings -- {K-Spades} {K-Clubs}. Kopp rolled over {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}.

Powell began commenting on how this always happens. This type of scenario always happens to him he said, and he went to say how he always goes out in situations like this.

The flop came down {Q-Spades} {4-Diamonds} {2-Hearts}. It did pair Kopp, but it was the wrong pair as he was still behind Powell's kings.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts}. Powell was still in the lead.

The river was the {A-Clubs} though, and Kopp stole the hand on the river from Powell.

Kopp now has 7.9 million chips after eliminating Powell on the hand.
