Action folded around to Pablo Fernandez in the small blind.

“If you limp, I’m probably going to shove,” said Smiley.

“Have you looked yet?” asked Barry Hutter.

Smiley admitted that he had not looked and Fernandez completed the small blind. Most of the table gives Smiley slight encouragement to shove without looking. Smiley looked at his hand and moved all in. Fernandez snap-called, all in for 395,000.

Fernandez showed AcJc and was up against Smiley’s AhJh.

“Let’s just chop it?” asked Smiley.

“Ok, chop it,” said Fernandez.

The flop was Kd4c2c and all of a sudden Fernandez was freerolling with the nut flush draw.

“No chop, no chop,” said Fernandez.

The turn was the Tc and Fernandez turned the nuts to leave Smiley drawing dead to the 6s river card. Fernandez doubled up.

“You guys technically agreed to chop the pot,” said Hutter.

“We shook hands,” said Smiley.

“You guys are going to battle more,” said Justin Young with a laugh.

Despite the beat, the table is still all laughs.

Pablo Fernandez – 810,000
Zachary Smiley – 340,000
