Cooler Ends In Unlikely Chop
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
The pot had already swelled to 225,000 with two players looking at a flop of 5♦2♠A♥.
Ami Barer, who was under the gun, check-called a bet of 50,000 from Eliot Hudon, in the cutoff.
The 4♥ turn checked through to the 3♦ on the river, putting a straight on the board. Barer moved all in, putting Hudon to the test for his last 500,000. Hudon thought for some time, burning through time banks before making the call.
Eliot Hudon: K♠K♣
Ami Barer: Q♣Q♥
Both players' premium pocket pairs were counterfeited by the board and the pot was chopped.
