Daniel Vs. Daniel Results In Chop
Level 22
: Blinds 100,000/150,000, 150,000 ante
Daniel Negreanu open-jammed a stack of 950,000 from early position and Daniel Rezaei re-shoved in the small blind to get things heads-up.
"Daniel vs. Daniel," Rezaei said as he did so.
"I don't know what I have. I have two picture cards," Negreanu said.
Daniel Rezai: K♣Q♣
Daniel Negreanu: K♠J♠
Negreanu flipped his cards one at a time to see he was pipped and in need of a jack or spades. The flop of 2♦4♦4♠ created some chop possibilities before the K♥ turn gave both players a pair of kings. "That doesn't help me," Negreanu commented.
But Negreanu's attitude changed when the A♣ rolled off on the river to make it a chop. "That does!" he cheered as he chopped the pot to stay alive.
