Evard and Asgoudakis Chop it Up
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Govert Metaal limped from the under-the-gun position and button Francois Evard raised to 23,000. The bet was called by Konstantinos Asgoudakis from the small blind and Metaal stuck around as well.
The 
flop was dealt and it checked to Evard on the button. He continued with a bet of 32,000 and small blind Asgoudakis pushed all in for 108,000. Metaal got out of the way and Evard was up.
Evard used a time bank card but he called right before the end of his second thirty-second countdown. Evard called with 
and he called correctly against the 
of Asgoudakis.
However, the gentlemen chopped the pot after the 
turn and 
river and no elimination took place.
