Justin Scott Eliminated in 9th Place ($22,575)
We will have a first time bracelet winner this evening.
Michael Cooper opened to 65,000 from early position and the action folded to Justin Scott who moved all in for just over 200,000 from middle position. Everyone folded back to Cooper who went into the tank.
"I like that you haven't called yet," Scott poked.
"I bet you do," Cooper shot back.
Eventually Cooper did make the call, and the hands were opened:
Showdown
Cooper:
Scott:
"I'm due to win one of these," Scott announced.
The poker gods seemed to think otherwise as the flop fell giving Cooper a leading pair of jacks. Neither the on the turn nor the on the river improved Scott's wired sevens and our only previous bracelet winner hit the rail.
With the knockout, Cooper now sits with around 500,000 chips.
