Choppity Choppity

A curious hand between Carman Cavella and Ken Aldridge is not a harbinger of good things to come. Cavella opened from the small blind for 67,000 and Aldridge called from the big blind. Both players checked a small flop, {4-Hearts} {6-Clubs} {2-Hearts}. Cavella fired 80,000 on the {6-Diamonds} turn, a bet that Aldridge quickly called.

When the river double-paired the board with the {4-Clubs}, both players quickly checked. Cavella turned over {A-Hearts} {Q-Clubs}, while Aldridge improbably tabled {A-Diamonds} {K-Diamonds}. That's a chopped pot.
