Chopped Pot Provides A Light Moment
Level 33
: Blinds 150,000/300,000, 30,000 ante
With action folded to him, Shawn Smith raised to 8,000 on the button, and then had to deal with Tamas Lendvai, who moved all in from the big blind after the small blind folded.
Smith, who had Lendvai covered, immediately called to put his opponent at risk of elimination.
Tamas Lendvai: A♣9♥ 
Shawn Smith: A♠Q♦
Lendvai’s inferior ace was in trouble and the flop of 3♦K♣2♣ kept Smith’s bigger ace in front. The 2♦ on the turn paired the board, and 3♣ on the river resulted in a chopped pot.
“Fold! Fold!” Lendvai’s joked with Smith at the conclusion of the hand, which resulted in both players laughing at the hand results.
