Big Pot Gets Chopped
Level 26
: 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jerry Odeen raised to 135,000 preflop and was called by both Robert Tanita in the small blind and Richard Crooks in the big blind.
The flop of 
saw Tanita check to Crooks who bet 300,000 which only Odeen called.
The turn of 
saw Crooks size up to 500,000 and Odeen called once more and the same action occured on the river 
for a sizing of 1,300,000.
Crooks turned over 
for a flush and a six-five low, but Odeen turned over 
for a better six-five low and he took down half.
The rail confused by what was happened, heard the table explain that it was a chop pot, to which one railbird responded "everyone loves a chop pot."
