Cucchiara Finds a Chop
Level 9
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Frank Cucchiara was already all in and at risk from under the gun against Jelle Moene in the cutoff.
Frank Cucchiara: A♥7♠
Jelle Moene: A♦10♦
Moene had the lead but the double paired 2♦J♦K♣K♥J♣ board ended the hand in a chop.
Cucchiara said he was 'happy with a chop', after seeing he was behind pre-flop.
On the next hand on the same table, Bradley Harwood raised the button to 2,400 and Diego Lopez defended the big blind.
Both players checked the 3♠9♦6♠ flop, to see the 2♥ turn.
Harwood put 2,500 into the middle and Lopez called. Taking them to the Q♥ river.
Action was checked and Harwood showed 8♥6♥ which was good enough to take the pot.
