Chop it Up

Under the gun Nicolas Levi went all in for 280,000. "OK, I'll be the hero," Adam Katz said as he made the call. He continued, "I know everyone's rooting for me."

But there's a large French contingent rooting Levi on and he said, "Not everyone here is rooting for you."

The action was folded around and before Katz showed his cards he said he had A-Q. "Ace-queen?" Levi asked, and as the players showed their cards he added, "That sounds good to me."

Yes, both players had A-Q, neither player flopped a flush draw and by the time the turn card was placed on the table the pot was gonna be chopped up. And about 50 sleepy people groaned in unison.
