Kopp Scoops Linster After Controversial Call
Niveau 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Mike Linster was heads up from the big blind against William Kopp in the cutoff on a completed board of 8♣A♠K♣8♥4♦ with several hundred thousand already in the middle.
Linster checked to Kopp, who announced a pot-sized bet of 845,000. Linster stuck a stack of 100,000-denomination chips into the middle and announced call, but the floor was called due to Linster placing two million worth of chips into the middle before verbally announcing a call.
Eventually, the senior tournament director declared that Linster's action would be ruled a call and Kopp tabled A♣A♥9♦7♣ for aces-full of eights. It was good against the A♦Q♠8♦10♥ for eights-full of aces and Kopp was shipped the massive pot.
