Everyone Loves a Chop Pot! Right?
Level 26
: 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante
Fakher Alizai's open to 225,000 under-the-gun was three-bet to 800,000 by Garrett Dansereau on the cutoff. Alizai then four-bet jammed having Dansereau covered. Dansereau decided rather quickly to make the call, putting himself at risk.
Alizai: 
Dansereau: 
As soon as the 
flop fell, the whole table knew it would end in a chop and sure enough, a 
run out secured a half for each player.

Michael Khan Shoves the Flop
Level 26
: 50,000/50,000, 100,000 ante
Carlos Gerones raised to 250,000 from middle position and action was on Michael Khan in the cutoff. He paused for a moment and three-bet to 700,000. Fakher Alizai was on the button and cold-called, prompting Gerones to call as well.
The flop came 
and Gerones checked. Khan shoved for 2,200,000, and Alizai went into the tank. He thought for a while but eventually folded. Gerones muck as well, sending a bit pot over to Khan without needing to go to showdown.
