Istomin and Andreev Chop
Level 15
: 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
In a battle of the blinds, Andrey Andreev limped in and Aleksei Istomin raised to 250,000, which Andreev called. The latter bet the 
flop and Istomin raised to 600,000 with Andreev calling. After the 
turn, Andreev checked-called a bet of 1,100,000 and Andreev called before both checked the 
river.
The straight on the board ended up as a split pot, as Andreev's 
for a busted flush draw and Istomin's 
for a flopped straight were equally strong when all community cards were added up.
