Chop Chop in First Hand after Dinner

Level 24

Omaha-8:

Aaron Steury raised to 40,000 before the flop and Paolo Compagno made the call. The dealer flopped {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and Steury led out for 20,000. Compagno raised to 40,000 and and Steury made the call, bringing the {A-Spades} on the turn.

Steury slowed down on the turn and checked it to Compagno, who fired 40,000 into the middle. This bet was called by Steury and the dealer revealed the {5-Spades} on the river. Steury bet his last 3,000 and was all in for his tournament life after the Italian native made the call.

Showdown:

Steury: {2-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Hearts}{6-Hearts}
Compagno: {A-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{K-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Steury's low of 7-5-3-2-A was good for the low half and Compagno's trip aces took the high half for a chopped pot.
