An Unlikely Chop Pot Counterfeits Cihar

Level 9 : Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Giuseppe Dedoni raised to 2,500, from the hijack, Jakub Cihar called in the cutoff, as did Alon Huberman, in the big blind.

The AQQ flop checked the action to Cihar, who continued for 2,300. Huberman called and Dedoni folded.

The Q turn checked through to the Q on the river. With the nuts on board, Huberman moved all in and Cihar snap-called.

Alon Huberman: 93 All in
Jakub Cihar: A8

Cihar's turned full house was counterfeited on the river, ensuring Huberman's big blind special became an unlikely chopped pot.

Ermanno Di Nicola: 98
