Huge Double Up for Smith, Kopp Drops

Shamus

Jordan Smith raised to 420,000 from under the gun, and Billy Kopp reraised to 1.5 million from the cutoff. It folded back to Smith, who pushed all in for 7.73 million total and Kopp made the call.

Smith showed {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts} and Kopp {A-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}. A big race -- with over 15 million on the line!

The board ran out {J-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Clubs}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}, and Smith's queens held up. He survives with a stack of 15.8 million, while Kopp drops to 17.2 million.
