Chopping a Pot the Hard Way
Level 29
: 75,000/125,000, 125,000 ante
Stephan Nussrallah limped from under the gun and Arsenii Karmatckii raised to 450,000 from the button. The blinds got out of the way and Nussrallah responded by three-betting to 1,125,000. After some time Karmatckii announced all in and Nussrallah snap called.
Aresnii Karmatckii: 
Stephan Nussrallah: 
Karmatckii found himself on the right end of a brutal cooler, that is until the flop came 
, pulling Nussrallah out in front. That all changed on the 
turn, which propelled Karmatckii into an almost unassailable lead. The deck was not done toying with the players' emotions just yet. The 
rolled off on the river to put broadway on the board and chop up the pot, bringing a wild hand to a somewhat tame conclusion.
