Anticlimactic Chop
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Play was already underway when action was picked with Antoine Berruel in the big blind re-raising to 175,000 and Espen Hagen four-betting to 650,000.
With action back to Berruel, he shoved all-in for around 700,000 and Hagen snap-called.
Antoine Berruel: A♠K♠
Espen Hagen: A♣K♣
Tabling the hands proved quite anticlimactic. Richard Green, who was also on the table, predicted that the board would be monochromatic red to split the pot.
The board didn't run as Green predicted, but it unfurled to Q♦6♥6♣6♠10♣ resulting in an uneventful split pot.
Berruel looked quite disheartened, that the table joked he was sad that it was a chop. He denied it, telling Hagen directly, "I am very happy to chop with you."
