Pop Gets a Lucky Chop
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Bogdan Pop moved all in for 333,000 on the button and Gavan Ryan called in the small blind, having Pop covered by just 5,000.
Bogdan Pop: A♥10♥ 
Gavan Ryan: A♦Q♦
Pop found himself dominated as the A♠J♦5♣ flop gave both players top pair. The J♠ turn meant Pop could only hope for a chop, and he found his fortunate card when the dealer turned over the K♣ on the river.
"Oh my God," Ryan said, laughing off the beat. Pop wiped the sweat off his brow as he sat back in his seat.
