An Unlikely Chop

Level 23 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Andrius Smigelskas opened to 60,000 in the hijack before facing a three-bet to 200,000 from Richard Koppel in the small blind. Smigelskas responded with a four-bet all-in for roughly 380,000, and Koppell called.

Andrius Smigelskas: 77 All in
Richard Koppel: AQ

The J66 flop kept the preflop standings as they were, with the 6 improving Smigelskas to a full house.

When the dealer burned and turned the J river, however, both players had improved to a better full house, seeing them split the pot.
