Strickland and Press Chop

Level 4 : 200/400, 400 ante

Stephen Strickland checked the 65Q flop in early position, and Stephen Press checked it back from the cutoff.

The 7 turn saw Strickland lead out for 1,100, and Press replied with a raise to 3,200. The call was made, and the 10 river completed the board.

Strickland led for 3,200, and Press raised to 12,000. Strickland then announced all in, and Press quickly called.

Strickland turned over 98, with the Press tabling 98 for the same straight.

"Nice hand," Strickland said with a smile as the dealer chopped the pot.
