Sandberg Finds Miracle Chop to Survive in Confusing Hand
Evan Sandberg raised to 10,700,000 first-to-act with 100,000 behind. In the big blind, Jared Rogers contemplated for around 30 seconds before he called.
Rogers tabled his hand, not knowing that Sandberg had a chip behind. The hand was briefly face up, and it was announced on the commentary microphone that Rogers had tens. The hand was visible for about five seconds.
On the 10♦4♥4♣ flop, Rogers bet the last chip. Sandberg, thinking that his opponent had tens-full, contemplated folding the 100,000 despite the pot being 23,200,000. However he eventually tossed in the final chip.
Evan Sandberg: A♠2♠
Jared Rogers: 9♥9♦
Rogers actually had nines instead of tens, much to the relief of Sandberg who still needed to improve.
The 10♥ turn double-paired the board, and the river was the 4♦, putting fours full of tens on the board, and miraculously the pot was chopped in a wild series of events.
