Level 23 : Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante

Vladimir Minko opened to 600,000 in middle position and Troy Quenneville three-bet to 1,325,000 on his left. The action folded back to Minko who made it 3,500,000 to go. Quenneville pushed all but 300,000 of his stack into the middle and Minko announced all in.

"Ahh, f***!" Quenneville blurted as he looked at the clock, noticing there was no pay jump in the near future. He called off his stack of 12,700,000 and the cards were tabled.

Troy Quenneville: A♥K♥ All in
Vladimir Minko: A♠K♣

"What are you so mad at?" Minko questioned knowing that in all likelihood the hand would be a chop.

"He hasn't had to play this kind of crap all day," Andrew Chen joked.

The board ran out 6♠5♦2♠7♦6♥ and the two players inevitably chopped the pot.

"No fun if there's no sweat," Minko said disappointed.

"Do you wanna run it again?" Quenneville rhetorically asked.
