"Are We Splitting?"
Level 15
: 2,500/5,000, 500 ante
We happened upon the action with 110,000 or so already in the pot and a flop of 
. Scott Seiver had checked from early position and Igor Kurganov bet 55,000 from the button. Seiver then check-raised all in for roughly 225,000, and Kurganov hit the tank.
"Are we splitting?" he asked alound. "Are you bluffing me?"
Kurganov continued to think it through.
"We both have the same hand, Scott. He had 
."
Another minute or so passed and Kurganov made the call. He was spot on minus the suits (seeing as he had the ace of clubs).
Kurganov: 
Seiver: 
The two did hold the same hand, and the pot was chopped after the 
turn and 
river were put out.
Despite chopping that hand, both players are up since the last time we checked in with them.
