Procopio Leaves His Opponent on Fumes in Ultimate Cooler; Pedersen Takes Out Kingstone
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Vincent Procopio was under the gun and got his last 178,000 in the middle against an opponent in early position.
Vincent Procopio: A♠A♣
Opponent: K♥K♦
Procopio was far ahead with aces against kings and held up through the 7♣8♣Q♣Q♠J♠ board to earn a double up, leaving his opponent with just one chip behind.
At the same time at another table, Max Kingstone got his last 150,000 in with A♠Q♣ but Mathias Pedersen had A♣K♣. Both players paired their ace on the flop, but Kingstone improved no further and Pedersen took the pot to send him to the rail.
