All in and Chop

We only found our way to the table with the entire {7-Spades}{3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} board already spread out that made a straight and around 13,500 in the pot. Jason Lester who was in middle position plopped down a stack of what looked to be around 40,000 and the action was now on Nicholas Levi in the cutoff.

Levi tanked for quite some time but eventually called all in for his last 15,000 to put his tournament life at risk. Lester said, “Good call” and turned over {3-}{3-} for a flopped set that got counterfeited when the straight on board completed on the river. Levi revealed {Q-}{Q-} as the players chopped the pot.
