Arslami Gets Lucky to Chop
Level 2
: 100/200, 200 ante
With approximately 15,000 in the pot and a flop of 
, Philip Novegrad bet 11,500 from the small blind and Arslam Arslami called from middle position.
The player in the cutoff then raised to 36,000, Novegrad folded, and Arslami thought long and hard before making the call.
Arslami then checked the 
turn and the player in the cutoff moved all in. Arslami snap-called off and the hands were turned up.
Arslami: 
Cutoff: 
The player in the cutoff had flopped the nuts, which meant Arslami was fortunate to catch the eight on the turn to make the same hand. The meaningless 
was run out on the river and the two chopped it up.
