Chop for Chris Chalkley the Chip Chairman

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

A player opened from middle position. Action folded around to Chris Chalkley, one of the current chip leaders of the tournament with roughly 160,000 chips. He three-bet to a little over 6,000 and the middle position raiser called.

On the {J-Clubs}{3-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, Chalkley led out with a bet of 6,500. His opponent called.

The turn was the {5-Hearts} and both players checked to see the {5-Spades} on the river. Chalkey put out a bet of 14,500 and his opponent called. Chalkey showed {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} while his opponent showed {A-Clubs}{J-Spades}. Chalkley tapped the table to say "nice hand" to his opponent, but the dealer grabbed his cards and mucked them.

"Wait!" came cries from the table. "It's a chop!"

Eventually the mistake was rectified and Chalkley was awarded his rightful half of the pot, allowing him to retain his spot as one of the current chip leaders.
