Chip Leaders Chop

In a battle of the big stacks, Alex Zaslavsky raised it up from early position and chip leader Johnny Neckar made the call from the big blind.

The flop came {3-Clubs}{3-Spades}{A-Clubs} and Neckar checked to Zaslavsky who fired out 50,000. Neckar made the call.

The turn brought the {Q-Spades} and again Neckar checked to Zaslavsky who fired another bullet worth 60,000. Necker called once more.

The river landed the {9-Diamonds} and both players slowed and checked it down. Zaslavsky showed {A-Spades}{J-Hearts} but would only get half the pot as Neckar flipped {A-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} for the same hand! Chop it up!
