Straight on the Board Results in a Chop for Richez
Level 16
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Clement Richez open-jammed for 28,000 in early position and Nikolai Mamut in late position called. When action folded to the big blind, Gonzalo Lopez joined in to see the flop.
The flop came 6♣3♣5♦. Lopez fired 16,000 and Mamut called. Richez started shaking his head as he watched the action before him.
Both players checked the 4♥ turn, but on the 7♠ river, Lopez fired 75,000 which was enough to make Mamut fold and take Richez to showdown.
Lopez showed J♠3♠ while Richez who continued shaking his head tabled K♠K♥. Lopez won the side pot but because of of the straight on the board, Lopez and Richez chopped the pot.
