Smith Calls to a Chop
Level 4
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Dan Smith raised from under the gun to 4,500 and was called by Juan Pardo to his left. Mikita Badziakouski raised to 20,000 on the button, producing a call from Smith and a fold from Pardo.
Smith checked the 
flop and Badziakouski used a time bank before announcing all in for 114,000. Smith counted out his stack before making the call, and the two players turned up their holdings.
Mikita Badziakouski: 
Dan Smith: 
Both players flopped top pair and the 
turn cemented a chopped pot. The river 
completed the board as both players took back their bets and split the pot.
