Chop It Up
X.B.B.The action was picked up on the flop of K♦ J♠ T♥ with around 8,000 chips in the middle. X.B.B. checked the action from the small blind to Kyle Hu, from the big blind, who bet 3,000, which X.B.B. put in a raise to 6,000. Hu made the call. Both read an A♣ on the turn, and X.B.B. bet 3,000 after consideration, which Hu stuck around to see the Q♦ fall on the river, where X.B.B. checked over. Hu then shoved all in and X.B.B snap-called.
Hu tabled 8♦ 8♣ and X.B.B. flipped K♠ T♣, meaning two players chopped the pot.
