Rodriguez and Yaghmai Chop it Up
Level 33
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante
Nariman Yaghmai raised the button and Juan Rodriguez shoved from the big blind. Yaghmai thought for a while before calling off his stack of around 6,500,000.
Nariman Yaghmai: A♦J♥
Juan Rodriguez: A♣J♦
Both players held the same hand, and both agreed they would happily settle for a chop.
Yaghmai picked up some backdoor flush potential on the 8♥6♥A♠ flop, but the 2♦ turn guaranteed there would be no blood.
The 2♣ completed the board and Rodriguez and Yaghmai chopped up Chad Lipton's big blind and ante.
