Not a Chop, Holmes Rivers a Straight
Level 29
: Blinds 80,000/160,000, 160,000 ante
Mikolaj Zawadzki opened to 325,000 in cutoff. Nan Zhang, checked how much Zawadzki and big blind Alexander Holmes had behind, then shoved all in for around 2,000,000 from the small blind. Holmes shoved all in right after pushing Zawadzki out of the pot.
Alexander Holmes: A♦9♦ 
Nan Zhang: A♠6♠
The board ran 7♥5♠J♥10♥8♣. Mistakenly, Zhang thought it was a chop, but the dealer informed him that Holmes caught a straight on the river.
