Dawson Hits River Three to Double

Level 31 : 120,000/240,000, 240,000 ante

Charlie Dawson got his 2.5 million stack into the middle preflop against Santiago Plante.

Charlie Dawson: {a-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}
Santiago Plante: {a-Clubs}{4-Hearts}

The players were likely to chop but the board was still to be run. Both players were calling for a chop as the flop came {k-Spades}{6-Clubs}{2-Hearts}. The turn was the {10-Spades}, and the {3-Spades} spiked the river to give Dawson the full pot and avoid the chop. Plante reiterated he would've been fine with a chop, but instead, Dawson gets the double.
