The word "chop" wasn't mentioned once during the nearly two hours of three-handed play... that is until now.
The three players, who have essentially evened the stacks with one another, have agreed to chop the prize money equally at $39,083 each. However, they will continue to play for the $10,000 World Series of Poker Main Event seat that will go to the winner. Additionally, the trio have agreed to play levels at 30 minutes as opposed to one hour.
The end is near.
Henry Gingerich raised to 150,000 from the button and then called when Cary Long three-bet to 530,000 from the big blind. When the flop came down , Long announced that he was all in for about 1.8 million and Gingerich hit the tank.
"Why so much?" he asked. Gingerich has been laying back and hasn't exhibited a great deal of aggression. He eventually folded his hand.
"Jacks any good?" he asked.
