that play isnt in Moons playbook by a mile that is why. sort of like all of usin 2006 and the RUSSSOOOO squeezzee

lol who knows, but they just showed the hand where Moon raised 3-2s or whatever.

not playing close attention so no idea position on each hand, so could obv be very very different situations, but still

It's hard to tell what Moon says, but I'm pretty sure it's not about Kopp raising preflop with 35, rather putting the rest in with it.

Moon was on the button with the 32s, Kopp was utg with the 53s...

would have loved to hear what either Moon or Kopp was putting the other on during the big hand, they both seemed suprised by the other's cards. Guess some poker players still don't range their opponent's holdings during a hand.

Raised an unopened pot from the button with 23.

I'm pretty sure billy kopp couldn't play that hand worse. He seems like a nice guy and a pretty good player, but that shove after getting c/r is just awful. Does he not realize the millions in equity he just gave up, and the millions in endorsement deals and etc. I'm sure he regrets his play but wow...

Gimpest play ever, l2 avoidance with weak flush

moons call with the flush was way worse then kopps shove imo. hes like never ahead in that spot. he said he didnt even know that the board paired and if he did he woulda folded. id be on life tilt for a long time in kopps spot hearing moon say something like that. i dont think kopp played it well either but like the way darvin moon snap calls in that spot with a flush is absurd.

im pretty sure he asked why he would get it all in on a board like that with such a big chip stack. Don't understand the confusion

i couldnt believe it when kopp shoved after that big raise from moon after the turn. what a horrible play trying to push moon around like that.

im sure theres a video somewhere but if not watch the wsop on espn and espn2 you'll see it.

Just a sick play

I just don't understand his thought process at all. I mean what a GIANT mental mistake. You think an amature that everyone knows is running like god is going to fold a flush...i mean i didnt see the guy fold ANY hands throughout the series....why make this the time to BLUFF him. If i'm 5th in chips with 13 left all I'm thinking about is the mass equity i gain from simply making the november nine...its really not about playing poker at that point. its about locking your chips up and getting a drink.

In my opinion, Kopp's play was one of the worst ever. If you just look at the hands Moon has showed, it has always been a big hand. Kopp was one of the better players out there and could run over the FT plus made a lot in endorsements, but decided to shove a baby flush on a paired board against the TIGHTEST and HOTTEST RUNNING guy on the table.

That hand cost Kopp millions in real money.

Pretty sure this hand has been beat to death. Billy has said all that needs to be said about this hand. I'm sure he regrets it as anybody would, it literally cost him like a million dollars. It's also easier to comment on hands when you're on an internet forum, then it is to actually play the hand when you've flopped a flush against the biggest lucksack in the tourney, with that much money on the line and that much pressure.
