Koop Becomes Runaway Chip Leader

Bert Geens raised to 3,500 and Niko Koop called on the button before Stefan Mattsson squeezed to 9,000 from the big blind. Geens called and then Koop four-bet to 32,000. Mattsson had been very solid until then and decided to jam his big stack to put Koop at risk for 155,000.

Geens folded and the Russian called with :::Ax:::Kx to see Mattsson only turn over :::Ax:::Qx. As usual there was some sweat, but the board ran out :::Ax:::9x:::8x:::Jx:::2x to give Koop an enormous double up.

Niko Koop	320,000	160,000
Stefan Mattsson	35,000	-145,000
