Everyone Loves a Chop Pot

Ryan Lashmar

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

A player in early position opened to 20,000 and Rolf Nordstrom moved all in from the hijack for approximately 150,000, quickly getting a call from his opponent who had him covered.

Rolf Nordstrom: A♥Q♣
Early Position: A♦K♦

"Of course it's ace-king for 15 big blinds" Nordstrom commented before the board ran out. He received no help against the dominating hand on the 9♦9♠9♥ flop but the J♣ turn did leave him with some outs to chop.

"Jack!" Nordstrom called for. Sure enough, the river was the J♦, giving both players a full house to chop the pot. Nordstrom could be heard afterwards saying how he didn't call for a queen, as that would have been selfish.

Kathrine Brandt Weir raised in the hijack with the 8♠8♥ and Chris Moneymaker just called in the cutoff with the A♠A♣.

Brandt Weir bet 15,000 with her set on the Q♥8♣4♠ flop and Moneymaker called again which brought them to the 9♥ turn. Brandt Weir now jammed for 169,000 after a long time of consideration and Moneymaker instantly called with his over pair.

The K♣ river brought no upset and Brandt Weir doubled.

William Anderson was all-in shortly after for 182,000 on the main feature table with the Q♠Q♦, up against Stephen Chidwick with the 8♥8♣.

The superior pair remained ahead all the way on the Q♣J♠3♠A♠9♠ board for Anderson to double.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Toby Lewis raised it up in the cutoff and Lander Lijo flat-called from the button. They went heads-up to a flop of Q♠10♠4♠ in which both players committed another 22,000 apiece.

The turn was the 5♠ and Lewis checked to Lijo who made a bet of 38,000. Lewis called and the 6♠ landed on the river. Lewis checked again and Lijo gave it some thought but decided to check it back. Lewis tabled A♥J♠ for a better flush than the board and Lijo conceded the pot.

Level 17 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Doug Polk opened from early position and the big blind defended.

The dealer spread a flop of K♣J♦5♣, and both players quickly checked.

When the Q♣ fell on the turn, the big blind shoved his last 34,000 in the middle and Polk snap called.

Big blind: 9♣7♣
Doug Polk: K♠J♥

The big blind turned a flush against Polk's two pair but the J♣ river improved Polk to a full house as he sent the big blind to the payout desk.
