Mouroutis Finds the Call to Chop
Level 8
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
Action picked up on the 2♣10♦4♦ flop, where Roman Yurkiv led out with a bet of 3,000, and Nikolaos Mouroutis made the call. Liam O’Donoghue, next to act, responded with a three-bet to 12,000. Yurkiv folded, but Mouroutis called.
The turn brought the 8♠. Mouroutis checked, and O’Donoghue moved all in for 24,900. Mouroutis went deep into the tank, contemplating for about three minutes before tossing a blue chip into the pot to signal a call.
Liam O’Donoghue: A♣10♠ 
Nikolaos Mouroutis: A♥10♥
Both players held identical hands, and with the 9♣ on the river, they chopped the pot.
