The Great MJ Doubles Through the Chip Leader

Michael "Great MJ" Cooper opened for a min-raise to 48,000 and was called by Chris Thompson. Both players proceeded to check the {3-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{A-Diamonds} flop, and then Thompson moved all in on the {8-Clubs} turn. Cooper snap-called and the railbirds were on their feet.

Showdown

Cooper{A-Clubs}{4-Spades}
Thompson{10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}

Cooper had the best hand with two pair, but he needed to sweat Thompson's flush and straight draws. "Don't you do it to me," Cooper told the dealer with a smile, and he didn't. The {J-Hearts} fell harmlessly on the river and Cooper survived.
