Hopkins Wins Big Without Showdown
Level 17
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
With two players seeing a board of 9♥J♦9♠2♦ and a sizable pot of roughly 140,000 already in the middle, Ivan Stankov checked and Joshua Hopkins bet 50,000 in position. Stankov made the call.
Stankov checked again on the 3♠ river and Hopkins moved all in for about 80,000. Stankov, who held a covering stack, opted to fold and Hopkins dragged in a massive pot without having to go to showdown.
