One way to avoid chopping in the split-pot game is to make the other player throw his cards away--which is how Martin Corpuz took down a big pot with Layne Flack. Corpuz raised before the flop and Flack called in the small blind. Both players checked the flop, and when the turned Flack checked and Corpo\uz bet 1,700. Flack check-raised to 5,700. That's when Corpuz moved all in. Flack chose to lay his hand down and preserve his remaining 13,000, while Corpuz is up to 23,500.
