Everybody Loves a Chopped Pot

Level 22 : 8,000/16,000, 2,000 ante

Albert Daher opened under the gun and was raised by Alexey Rybin in the cut-off. The blinds folded but Daher called and they saw a flop of {10-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{a-Diamonds}. Daher checked and Rybin bet 75,000. Daher called the bet and the dealer put out the {k-Spades} on the turn. Once more Daher checked and again Rybin bet, sliding two stacks of darck blue chips over the line, 200,000. Daher made the call. The river was the {q-Diamonds}. Both players checked this time. Daher showed {q-Spades}{j-Spades} for the flopped straight. Rybin slowly turned over {j-Hearts}{9-Hearts}. Daher didn’t look particularly impressed. Chop it up.

At both ends of the table there were discussion about who played it better and what they would have done on a different river card.
