Brent Finds a Chop to Survive

Level 31 : 60,000/120,000, 20,000 ante

David Brent moved all in for about 1,350,000 from middle position and Maurice Hawkins moved all in over the top from the small blind. Brent was at risk and well behind with {a-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}, while Hawkins held {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}.

The flop came {10-Spades}{9-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Hawkins remained well ahead. The turn was the {10-Diamonds}, giving Brent some outs to chop, plus he had the ace of diamonds for the possibility of making a flush. The river was the {3-Hearts} and the dealer yelled, "Payout!" He then realized the board was double-paired and announced it was a chop.

"Oh... it's a chop. Oh my God!" exclaimed Brent, who survived to see another hand.
