Big Stacks Clash, No Blood Drawn

Level 25 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Narcis Nedelcu opened to 100,000 from middle position, which saw Kenneth Svendsen respond with a three-bet to 325,000 from the hijack. The action returned to Nedelcu, who four-bet to 700,000, which Svendsen called.

Both players checked on the 396 flop, and the A turn joined the board.

Nedelcu checked, prompting Svendsen to put a bet of 600,000 into the middle. After a moment's consideration, Nedelcu moved all in for 2,200,000. Svendsen didn't love the situation, but called nonetheless.

Narcis Nedelcu: AK All in
Kenneth Svendsen: AK

As it turned out, the two players had the same hand.

The dealer completed the board with the 9 before chopping the pot and moving on.
