Abernathy and Phan Split

Gabrielle Barredo
Gabrielle Barredo
Level 5 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Heads-up play was already underway with 6,000 in the pot when the flop dropped Q♦9♥J♥. Samantha Abernathy fired 2,200 prompting Sandrine Phan to shove all-in for around 20,000. Even before she could push her chips in, Abernathy snap-called.

Samantha Abernathy: A♣Q♣ All in
Sandrine Phan: A♠Q♠

Both women just smiled when they saw exactly the same hand hit top pair on the flop. The dealer completed the board with an 8♦ turn and a K♥ river.

The dealer proceeded to split the pot between the two players.
