Chop to Stay Alive
Level 11
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
With around 235,000 in the pot and the board reading 3♦5♠10♠J♠, Yu Zhang moved all in for 125,000 from under the gun. After the dealer confirmed the count, Daniel Negreanu made the call.
Zhang tabled 10♣6♣ for a pair of tens, while Negreanu showed 10♠8♣ for the same pair with the better kicker.
However, the 3♣ river paired the board, counterfeiting both kickers and resulting in a chopped pot, allowing Zhang to stay alive.
