Not Everyone Loves a Chopped Pot

Level 14 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Mitchell Bank opened to 12,000 in the cutoff and saw big stack Dan Bekavac call from the small blind.

The player in the big blind moved all in for about 50,000. Back on Bank, he also shoved.

"Count, please," said Bekavac. "I think my pocket threes might be ahead." After hearing the number was about 150,000, Bekavac made the call.

Big blind: {4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}
Mitchell Bank: {a-Spades}{j-Diamonds}
Dan Bekavac: {3-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}

"You can have that one, I just want to beat him," Bekavac said to the big blind.

The flop came out {9-Clubs}{j-Diamonds}{q-Spades}, and Bank jumped into the lead over both pocket pairs. The turn was the {8-Diamonds}, bringing in some chop outs. One of those came in with the {10-Diamonds}.

"Chop it up, baby," said Bekavac.

Just when it looked like Bekavac would lose a big flip, the deck had other plans and the three chopped it up.
