All the Excitement for a Chop
Level 18
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
As told by the players at the table:
Brian Wardrup was in the hijack and raised to 24,000 and Kenna James was on the button and made the call. The flop came out with Q♠6♣5♥ and Wardrup bet out 25,000 and James three-bet to 50,000 and received the call.
On the turn 6♠ Wardrup checked and James bet 65,000 and Wardrup jammed for about 225,000 effective and James made the call with his top pair and flush draw.
Kenna James: Q♠8♠ 
Brian Wardrup: K♣Q♣
Wardrup was holding the best hand with top pair of queens with the better kicker and the river was the 6♣ which created a chopped pot as both players held a full house.
