Hand #271: Chop

Level 40 : 600,000/1,200,000, 200,000 ante

Jesse Sylvia started the hand with the button, and he raised to 2.4 million. Greg Merson called in the big blind, and the dealer fanned {4-Spades}{5-Spades}{a-Hearts}. Both players checked.

The turn was the {10-Spades}, Merson led out for three million, and Sylvia called.

The {6-Hearts} completed the board, and Merson slowed down, checking to Sylvia who fired 4.6 million. Merson immediately called.

Merson tabled {a-Spades}{3-Diamonds}, Sylvia showed {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}, and both players chopped the pot.
