Chop, Chop

We passed by Tony Dunst's table to hear him announce "All in" from the small blind. There had been one limper from middle position and a substantial late-position raise to 2,000. The limper obligingly folded, allowing the late-position raiser to call and try to take out Dunst.

Dunst: {Q-Hearts} {Q-Spades}
Opponent: {Q-Diamonds} {Q-Clubs}

Dunst had to sweat the slightest bit on a flop of {A-Spades} {A-Diamonds} {2-Diamonds}, but the {A-Clubs} turn ensured a chop. The preflop limper claimed to have folded an ace, but when nobody believed him, he changed his story to "jack high".
