"No More Chops, Win or Lose Only"
Level 22
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
Action folded around to Konstantin Cugunov who raised to 300,000 from the small blind to cover Benoit Fiasson in the big blind who had 190,000 chips. Fiasson called and the players flipped their cards.
Benoit Fiasson: A♦6♣
Konstantin Cugunov: A♠8♠
Fiasson was behind, but flopped well and picked up a flush draw on the 4♣A♣K♣ board. He still needed more to stay in the tournament and the 10♦ turn didn't help him. Cugunov was calling for, "No chop, win or lose only."
A 2♣ river was enough to secure Fiasson the double up and he remarked "I'd have taken a chop."
Cugunov responded, "No, I have had enough of chops, I had ace-king versus ace-king three times today. Win or lose only."
