New Chip Leader Emerges in Monster Pot
Radoslaw Kopec is the new chip leader of the tournament after he cracked the over-pair of Peco "The Magician" Stojanovski.
Kopec opened to 2,700 from early position to face a three-bet to 6,200 from Stojanovski in the cut-off. Kopec wasn't put off and put in a four-bet to 13,100. Stojanovski, by this stage, was leaning right over the table, keen to see what the amount was. Kopec wasn't paying too much attention to his opponent, instead his focus was on the baize and the chips.
He soon realised Stojanovski's intentions as another raise came, up to 30,000. This didn't deter Kopec and he quickly announced all-in. Stojanovski snap called to create a six-figure pot.

The board ran to make a set for Kopec. Stojanovski was visibly gutted but took it well and wished his opponents the best of luck.
