Katz Settles for a Chop Against Le

Level 9 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

Three ways to the {8-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{6-Spades} flop, the action checked to Cary Katz on the button and he bet 21,000. Tommy Le in the cutoff was the only caller and checked again the {j-Clubs} turn. Katz bet the pot for 62,000 and Le asked to see his stack size, then jammed and Katz snap-called.

Cary Katz: {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}
Tommy Le: {q-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

"Oh, I am freerolling," Katz exclaimed when he saw the cards. The board completed with the {k-Clubs} and Andjelko Andrejevic immediately said "oh my god, he got there," which left Katz somewhat surprised. He studied the board and then realized that Andrejevic had joked as it was indeed a chop. Le did have a redraw to a superior straight though, while Katz's flush draw missed as well.
