Chop It Up
Level 4
: Blinds 300/500, 500 ante
Action folded to John Swift in the cutoff, and he raised to 1,000. Then Abid Buttar on the button three-bet to 3,000, before Jefferson Morrill four-bet all in for his stack of 33,800. Swift then moved all in as well for his stack 23,500, which got Buttar to fold, leaving the players heads up with Swift at risk.
John Swift: A♣K♠ 
Jefferson Morrill: A♦K♥
It was an anticlimactic showdown with both players holding ace-king. But the 4♦Q♣10♣ flop gave Swift the freeroll with his backdoor flush draw. But the J♠ ended the flush hopes as both players made a Broadway straight, and the K♦ on the river completed the board, as the players chopped the pot.
