Chop-Chop

Dana Kellstrom opened with a raise, and Anh Le three-bet from the small blind. "Twenty-three left," said Kellstrom as he made the call. "Just so you know."

The flop came out {2-Spades} {6-Clubs} {Q-Spades} , and Kellstrom checked. When Le bet, he said, "Let's get them in there," and both players went ahead and put the 23,000 in the pot to put Kellstrom in immediate danger. He tabled {A-Spades} {J-Spades} , and Le said, "You got it," as she tabled her inferior {A-Diamonds} {5-Diamonds} . The turn was the {2-Diamonds} and the river {6-Hearts} , and that running two pair means it's a split pot, both players using the ace in their hand to take half of the chips in the middle.

A couple hands later, Kellstrom was all in again versus Le. The board showed {5-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} {10-Diamonds} when Kellstrom's last 11,000 went into the pot, and he turned over {A-Spades} {5-Clubs} when he got called down. "Would you stop having my same hand?" Le chuckled, tabling her matching {A-Diamonds} {5-Hearts} .
