Ping Liu opens to 8,000 from middle position, and Michael Copeland (pictured center) calls in the small blind, as does Jean-Paul Nataf in the big blind.

The flop lands Spade 7Diamond 6Heart 10 and Copeland checks to Nataf who bets 20,000. Liu folds, but Copeland calls and both players check the Spade A on the turn.

The river is the Club 5, and Copeland leads out for 45,000. Nataf announces he is all in, and Copeland snap-calls for his 99,000 total.

Nataf tables his Diamond 10Diamond 5 for two pair, but it would be Copeland’s Heart 9Heart 8 for the flopped nut straight that would ensure him of a double.

Michael Copeland – 265,000
Jean-Paul Nataf – 330,000
