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 {j-Clubs}{5-Spades}{5-Diamonds} and McVeigh checked. Small made a continuation-bet of 210,000 to put action back on McVeigh, who called.

The turn was {4-Diamonds}. McVeigh checked again and Small checked behind. The river fell {k-Spades} and McVeigh bet 300,000. Small went into the tank for close to a minute before throwing in chips to call.

McVeigh tabled {j-Hearts}{8-Hearts} and Small showed {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}, 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.
