Koop Becomes Runaway Chip Leader
Level 9
: 800/1,600, 200 ante
Bert Geens raised to 3,500 and Niko Koop called on the button before Stefan Mattsson squeezed to 9,000 from the big blind. Geens called and then Koop four-bet to 32,000. Mattsson had been very solid until then and decided to jam his big stack to put Koop at risk for 155,000.
Geens folded and the Russian called with to see Mattsson only turn over . As usual there was some sweat, but the board ran out to give Koop an enormous double up.
