Everyone Loves a Chop Pot! (Or Not)
Level 16
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Justin Lapka opened to 10,000 from under the gun before Katrina Weaver jammed for her remaining 67,000 from middle position. The action folded to Marco Johnson in the big blind who tanked for a moment before he rejammed and Lapka folded.
Katrina Weaver: 8♦8♣ 
Marco Johnson: A♥Q♠
It was coinflip scenario with Weaver having the slight advantage. The 10♥10♦7♦ flop kept Weaver in front and nothing changed on the 7♣ turn. However, the 7♠ on the river put a full house on the board that both opponents played as the pot was chopped.
"It could have been worse," mentioned Timothy Pai, although it was still a painful runout.
