Everyone Loves a Chopped Pot
Level 12
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Daniel Neilson opened to 4,000 in early position and was called by Nick Botman in the small blind.
Action moved to Vladimir Shabalin in the big blind, who reached for chips and produced a three-bet to 17,000.
Neilson quickly moved all in for not much more and Shabalin made the call, with Neilson at risk.
Daniel Neilson: A♣Q♣
Vladimir Shabalin: A♠A♦
Neilson was unfortunate to run into Shabalin's aces, however he looked to be heading for a double-up after he flopped the nuts straight on 10♠J♥K♥.
However the Q♥ rolled off on the turn to also give Shabalin the straight, and the 8♣ completed the runout, leading to a chopped pot and Neilson lamenting his misfortune.
