Chop Loses a Lot
Level 15
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Dmitry Chop raised from under the gun and Anatoliy Filonenko defended his big blind before the jack-high flop was checked through. That turned out to be very costly for Chop, as his trips nines with ![]()
saw Filonenko get a cheap turn and river card with ![]()
and backdoor a flush to boost his stack significantly.
As for Govert Metaal, the Dutchman left the tournament area with the words "I played seven hands and lost them all."
