Radoslaw Kopec’s aces clean house

Looking down at A♦ A♠ Radoslaw Kopec opens, then happily calls Nguyen Manh Hung’s three-bet shove. Nguyen has K♠ T♠ . A bit of a scare on the flop Q♣ J♣ 3♣ , then with the turn 6♣ and river 6♥ , rockets hold to rail Nguyen.

Day 1C
Radoslaw Kopec lands the gutshot to rise to chip leader

Plenty of small chips splash the pot before it gets to big blind Radoslaw Kopec who three-bets 62,000. Initial raiser Vu Van Tiep calls, then two folds follow. At the flop Q♠ J♣ 9♥ , Kopec bets it all, Vu snap-calls his last 90,000 and turns over K♦ Q♦ top pair. Kopec has A♠ K♠ with many outs to help him. The turn 9♠ isn’t one of them but the T♠ grants the straight. Vu is eliminated and Kopec ships it to rise to the top.
