Level 34 : Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante

William Hults moved all in from the hijack for 2,550,000. Timur Margolin asked for a count and made the call.

William Hults: A♦10♣
Timur Margolin: A♣9♥

Hults was ahead, but Margolin said: "It could be a chop!" However, the flop 7♥5♦2♥ reduced the chop opportunities. The 8♠ on the turn gave Margolin a gutshot straight draw which he hit on the 6♣ river, leaving Hults shellshocked as he was handed his payout slip.
