Copeland scores another knockout shortly after sending Garrett Riley to the rail.
Jeff Copeland opens to 100k from mid position. Travis Barnes pushes all-in for 225k out of the small blind with jack-ten. Copeland makes the call with ace-queen. The board came 6c4d6s Ks 4h and Barnes was out in 7th place. He'll take home $3,994 for his weekend's worth of work. Not too shabby!
