Everyone Loves a Chop
Level 11
: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
It could have been a big pot if players had something different but instead a big pot was chopped up.
Hristo Bogdanov opened from the cutoff for 3,500. Dimitrios Chatziriotis three-bet to 10,000 from the button and Aris Christodoulis four-bet to 25,000. Bogdanov folded and Chatziriotis jammed for around 45,000.
Christodoulis made the quick call and turned over 
. Chatziriotis turned over 
and unless something funky happened it was going to be a chop.
The 
did present runner-runner flush possibilities but the 
on the turn quickly took away that potential drama to guarantee a chop for both players. The 
completed the board on the river and the dealer split up the pot.

: 800/1,600, 1,600 ante
Polykarpos Stryvakis has just left the poker room after he was felted by Dritan Korimani.

on a 
board. Stryvakis was drawing to just a jack after the 
came on the turn.
No jack came as instead it was the 
to complete the board on the river and Korimani scooped up a big pot at the expense of the Fenix Casino Poker Room Manager.
Meanwhile, Miroslav Gavrilov has been noticed in his seat as a new entry to Day 1c.
