Chop It Up
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Travis Pearson raised from the button to 500,000 with A?Q?9?4? to open preflop action. Lou Garza defended his big blind with A?Q?8?8?.
The flop came 4?Q?A?, giving both players identical hands. Garza checked, and Pearson bet 600,000. Garza went all in for 2,475,000 and Pearson quickly called.
The turn came 6?, eliminating any chance at a flush. Pearson could still catch an eight to win the pot, but the 3? river resulted in a chop.
