Sanz Finds a Miracle Chop on the River
Level 21
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Borja Urrea raised to 35,000 under the gun and Guillermo Sanz three-bet to 115,000 in the cutoff. Urrea called and went to turn his cards over before being told Sanz still had 15,000 behind.
The flop came A♣A♠3♣ and they quickly got the rest of Sanz's stack in the middle.
Guillermo Sanz: A♦J♥ 
Borja Urrea: A♥2♥
Both players had flopped trips, but Sanz was ahead with his jack-kicker until the 2♠ fell on the turn to give Urrea a full house. The river was the 2♣ and Sanz started to get up from his seat, but the rest of the table alerted him that he had earned a chop with that river deuce.
