Bronshtein Breaks Half Million
Level 11
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
With around 60,000 chips already in the pot, the rest of Wesley Cooper's chips flew in on a turn of 6?5?7?2?. He was looked up by Yuval Bronshtein, who played the covering stack.
Wesley Cooper: A?K?J?7?3? 
Yuval Bronshtein: A?K?6?4?3?
The river fell the J?, missing Cooper's flush draw, which meant that Bronshtein's six-high straight awarded him the high half while chopping the low pot with Cooper, since both had A-3 for the nut low, getting him three quarters in total.
