Micheal Cooper studies the turn

With the board showing {J-Clubs} {2-Diamonds} {A-Spades} {K-Hearts} , Michael Cooper put his tournament life at stake when he moved all in and was called by Joe Fernandez. Cooper grumbled in disgust as he saw the {10-Diamonds} {Q-Diamonds} Fernandez held, Cooper flipped up his {2-Spades} {2-Hearts} while requesting the dealer to, " Pair the board." Fernandez did not like what he saw next as the dealer obliged and put a bookend {J-Diamonds} to fill Cooper up.

Cooper and Fernandez both had sizable chip stacks, but the gap was enormous after the hand. Cooper surged to 84,000, while Fernandez was left with only 9,200.
