Everybody Loves a Chop Pot
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Justus Marsico raised the pot to 35,000 in the cutoff with 27,000 behind and Loren Egide jammed in the next seat.
"It's gonna be this table, eh, and now the big stack bully wants to bust us both," Egide jammed while Stefan Lehner in the big blind tanked but was ultimately folding.
As the crowd was waiting for the other tables to finish, they had already joked that it was likely a split pot as both had pocket aces.
Justus Marsico: A♦A♣K♣3♠ 
Loren Egide: A♠A♥9♠3♣
The 8♥2♠2♥10♥4♣ board indeed delivered the split pot, and the action continued two off the money.
