William Kopp Eliminated in 16th Place ($48,800)
Stanislav Halatenko raised from under the gun and was called by William Kopp in the big blind. The flop brought 10?9?6? and Kopp check-called a bet worth 200,000. They headed to the 8? on the turn and Kopp checked again. Halatenko now fired a bet of 700,000 and the dealer confirmed there were 790,000 in the pot when Kopp inquired, who then called.
The 8? river completed the board and Kopp checked the third street in a row. Halatenko paused for just five seconds and announced all-in. A mere thirty seconds later, Kopp called and that triggered some gasps from the other players at the table.
Kopp exposed his J?10?9?7? for a jack-high straight but it was no good, as the J?8?7?6? of Halatenko had made eights full of sixes.
"Nice hand ... hand of the tournament," Arthur Morris declared in the table chat.
