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.
