Hands #81-85: Chopped Pot on the River

Level 37 : 200,000/400,000, 50,000 ante

Hand #81: Galen Hall raised to 800,000 from the button, and Niels Herregodts called in the small blind as did Eduards Kudrjavcevs in the big blind. All three players checked on the {2-Diamonds}{8-Spades}{9-Hearts} flop and on the {7-Hearts} turn, Herregodts checked, Kudrjavcevs bet 1.3m and Hall folded.

Herregodts then decided to raise to 5.2m, Kudrjavcevs thought for a minute and let his hand go.

Hand #82: Herregodts raised to 1m from the button and Andrey Zaichenko defended his big blind. On the {j-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop Zaichenko check-called a 1.5m bet before both players checked on the {9-Hearts} turn.

The river came the {j-Hearts}, and Zaichenko bet 4m which was enough to get Herregodts to fold.

Hand #83: Hall raised to 900,000 from the hijack and everyone folded.

Hand #84: Alexander Kuzman raised from the small blind and took the pot.

Hand #85: Kuzman raised from the button to 900,000 and Herregodts called in the big blind. On the {j-Hearts}{8-Spades}{7-Diamonds} flop Herregodts check-called a 700,000 bet before he also check-called for 1.5m on the {4-Diamonds} turn.

Both players checked on the {5-Spades} river, and the players turned over hands to reveal they both held jack-ten suited for a chopped pot.
