Thorpe and Battenfield Go to Battle and Split the Spoils
Level 25
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 0 ante
Mike Thorpe raised from under the gun and got only one call in Christopher Battenfield from the big blind, with both taking a flop of 7♠8♥5♦.
Battenfield checked to Thorpe, who continued with a bet. Battenfield decided on a call to see the J♣ fall on the turn.
Battenfield check-called a bet from Thorpe again and watched as the A♦ hit the river.
Once more, Battenfield checked, Thorpe bet, and Battenfield called before turning up the K♣6♥5♣2♠, which was good for the low to split the pot versus the A♠A♥Q♥3♠ of Thorpe.
