Mirzikinian and Nassif Decide to Chop One

Level 17 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante
Gabriel Nassif
Gabriel Nassif

We caught up with Gabriel Nassif and Warwick Mirzikinian on a flop of {K-Hearts}{J-Clubs}{8-Clubs} where Nassif had checked to Mirzikinian. Mirzikinian fired off a bet of 20,000 that Nassif called.

The turn brought the {10-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {9-Hearts} on the river. On the river, Nassif checked to Mirzikinian again and Mirzikinian shot off a bet of 30,000. Nassif called instantly.

Mirzikinian turned up {Q-Spades}{Q-Diamonds} for a straight but Nassif turned up {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs} for the same straight.

"I couldn't decide if you had it preflop or not," Nassif said after the hand. "I guess I made a bad read."

Either way, it worked out for both of them and they chopped the pot.
