Francois Balmigere exits in 25th position
Francois Balmigere raised to 330,000 from middle position, Steven Begleiter called behind him, and it folded around to Billy Kopp who also called from the big blind.
The flop came 10H 7S 6D. Kopp led with a bet of 700,000, then Balmigere pushed all in for 2.785 million total. Begleiter folded, and Kopp went into the tank.
After a minute, Kopp counted out the chips needed to call and stacked them in a single column. Finally he picked up the stack and set it down before him with a thump. The players' cards were revealed:
Kopp 8D 7D.
Balmigere JH JS.
The turn was the AH, and Balmigere's jacks were still good. But the river brought the 9H
Kopp is now up to 17.5 million.
