Tamasauskas Gets One Chop, Then a Double
Level 14
: 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Vladas Tamasauskas was all in for 85,000 from the small blind with A♣4♣ and up against Joao Simao's A♦7♥, but the board ran out K♠10♠J♠4♠7♠ and they chopped the pot with a flush.
Tamasauskas moved all in again for 110,000 the next hand, and Simao again put him at risk.
Vladas Tamasauskas: A♥A♠ 
Joao Simao: K♠10♣
"Let's chop again," Simao said as he was up against two aces. Tamasauskas hit top set on the A♣9♣Q♦ flop, while Simao picked up a straight draw. Tamasauskas held on through the 7♠ turn and 5♠ river, and Simao handed over the double up.
