Dramatic Moment Lost to a Chopped Pot

Apr 28, 2015

Hans Winzeler thinks for a bit in the hijack, looking like he is about to raise David Tuthill’s big blind. Tuthill says, “Hans, be very careful with what you’re about to do.”

Winzeler carefully moves all in for 246,000.

Everyone folds to Tuthill in the big blind, and he calls with Aspade10spade. Winzeler turns over AheartJdiamond, and he needs his hand to hold to stay alive.

The board comes 8diamond5club3heart3spade8club — the double-paired board creates a chopped pot as both players have an ace kicker.

Hans Winzeler  –  255,000  (15 bb)
David Tuthill  –  325,000  (20 bb)
