River Over Bet; Call To Chop?

Robert Askarov opened to 1,300 from the button and picked up a solitary caller in big blind Roman Kundasov. These two have been at the same table all day.

There was no action on the flop or the turn as both players eyed each other up while checking and the board at the river read [9s8s6cth7h}.

With a straight on board, and first to act, Kundasov over bet the pot to the tune of 7,000. There wasn’t much of a pause before Askarov verbally declared the call.

Kundasov showed his for Jack high straight and there was no chopped pot and Askarov had to count put the call from his stack.
