Chop Pot Keeps Kaufmann Alive
Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
The pot had grown to around 800,000, with the board fully spread 4♠Q♦K♦7♣7♥. David Kaufmann was first to act and checked to Maher Achour, who moved all in for about 1,800,000, putting Kaufmann at risk.
Kaufmann carefully counted his stack, took some time to think it over, and eventually made the call.
Achour tabled K♥J♠ for two pair, kings and sevens, with a queen kicker. Kaufmann then revealed K♠9♠ for the same two pair with the same queen kicker, resulting in a chopped pot.
