Skender Scores a Chopportunity

A player in middle position raised to 450 preflop and the hijack called before Skender re-raised to 1,300 from the big blind. The other two players called, then Skender bet 1,300 after the flop of {A-Diamonds}{3-Spades}{4-Hearts}.

The middle position player called and the hijack folded, then Skender check-called the middle position's bet of 4,000 on the turn of the {6-Hearts} before leading out for 11,500 on the river of the {Q-Clubs}. The middle position player went deep into the tank before making a crying call with {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}, but was relieved to see that Skender also held {A-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}!

Chop, choppity, chop chop chop!
