Chop Pot Keeps Gibbons in the Tournament
Level 32
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Paul Gibbons was sitting in an early position when he decided to shove his last 2,350,000 in the middle. Action folded to Daniel Iachan in the cutoff, and he made the call. Nobody else wanted to join the party, and the card went on their backs.
Paul Gibbons: A♣J♦
Daniel Iachan: A♦J♠
With both having the same hand, it was a predictable outcome, and as the board ran out 7♥8♠4♠8♣10♣, not without giving Gibbons a little bummer on the flop with two spades. But the pot was chopped, and Gibbons could stay in the tournament.
