We are now three handed in "The Mothership," after losing Michael Cooper.

Preflop Cooper raised to 85,000. Action folded to Charles Sylvestre in the big blind. Sylvestre decided to make a reraise to 225,000. Back on Cooper, he made the call.

The flop fell {9-Diamonds}{7-Spades}{Q-Hearts}, and this is when a raising war erupted between Cooper and Sylvestre. Sylvestre bet out 225,000 chips. Cooper decided to put in a reraise to 565,000. Sylvestre didn't budge tho. He decided to put in another reraise, this time all in. Cooper took a few seconds to think, but then called.

Cooper: {10-Spades}{8-Spades}
Sylvestre: {A-Spades}{A-Clubs}

Cooper needed to catch a {J-} or a {6-} or running outs to survive as Sylvestre had him covered. The turn was the {Q-Clubs} though, taking out the possibility of running outs, and the river was the {2-Spades} eliminating Cooper from the tournament.

We will have chip counts for the final three players momentarily.
