Cohodes and Coplon Chop; Esposito Gets Away
Level 22
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
David Cohodes put out a bet of 200,000 on a flop of 
and action was on Michael Esposito in the big blind.
Esposito tanked for several minutes before releasing his hand. Ken Coplon in early position, though, raised all in and Cohodes snap-called.
Both players showed the same flopped straight, 
for Coplon and 
for Cohodes.
"Thank God I folded," Esposito yelled as he shot up from his seat, saying he had 
for a lower straight.
Coplon picked up a flush draw on the 
turn, but the river fell 
and they split the pot.
