: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
John Bunch limped from early position, Errol Samuel raised to 20,000 in middle position, Wesley Cooper called from the small blind, and Bunch called as well.
On the 7♠6♣5♦ flop, the action checked to Samuel who bet 25,000. Cooper responded with a check-pot to 135,000, and only Samuel called.
The turn brought the J♥. Cooper bet his remaining 21,000 and Samuel called.
Wesley Cooper: A♦Q♣6♠3♠2♥ 
Errol Samuel: A♥K♣Q♥3♦2♠
The river was the A♣ and both players held three-two to chop the low while Cooper took the high with two pair, aces and sixes. Cooper started the day with just 54,000 and has been steadily accumulating chips.
