Hand #35 - Thuritz and Mizrachi Chop

The button is with David Baker in Seat 1. On the final hand before the break, Michael Mizrachi opens for 100,000 and David Oppenheim makes the call. Mikael Thuritz is all in for less from the small blind, as Vladimir Schmelev comes along in the big blind.

They see a flop of {9-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and action checks to Mizrachi who tosses out 100,000. Oppenheim folds but Schmelev makes the call. The turn is the {6-Spades} and this time Schmelev checks, then folds to the 225,000-chip bet from Mizrachi.

Mizrachi: {K-Diamonds}{Q-Spades}
Thuritz: {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The crowd roars as Grinder tables the nuts, leaving the Swede drawing to just three queens for a chop. You couldn't have written a better script as incredibly the river was the {Q-Hearts} and the players chop it up!
