Small and McVeigh Chop One
Level 29
: 50,000/100,000, 10,000 ante
John Small opened to 230,000 from the button and was called by Jay McVeigh, who defended his big blind. The flop came 
and McVeigh checked. Small made a continuation-bet of 210,000 to put action back on McVeigh, who called.
The turn was 
. McVeigh checked again and Small checked behind. The river fell 
and McVeigh bet 300,000. Small went into the tank for close to a minute before throwing in chips to call.
McVeigh tabled 
and Small showed 
, with the two chopping up the pot due to the king kicker that came on the river to make both players' two pairs of even strength.
