Kopp Hits a Miracle River to Stay Alive
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
After the under the gun player had raised to 6,500 and Michael Clough had called from early position, Billy Kopp moved all in for 35,000 from the small blind.
Billy Kopp: 5♣5♥
Michael Clough: A♥6♥
"Hey, best case scenario," said Clough, discovering he had two overcards. He hit one of them on a Q♣4♦6♣ flop, and Kopp stood up to leave.
The 4♣ turn had him one more step toward the door, but the 5♦ spiking the river got him back in his seat.
