Chop Between Two Unsuspecting Hands
Level 16
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
A player in middle position opened to 16,000. Darcourt called from the cutoff, and Alberto defended the big blind.
Alberto led the 5♠9♦3♦ flop for 12,000. Middle position called, as did Darcourt. He led again for 8,000 on the 8♥ turn. Middle position folded and Darcourt called. Alberto led once more for 8,000 on the 2♦ river. Darcourt called.
He had 4♠2♣ and Alberto had 4♦2♠ for a chop. The players exchanged laughter and fistbumps as the dealer split the pot.
