High Roller: Dan Colman Calls for the Chop

$25,500 High Roller No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 17: 8,000/16,000 with a 2,000 ante
Players Remaining: 22 of 105

Pablo Fernandez raised to 32,000 from middle position, Dan Colman three-bet to 90,000 from the small blind, Fernandez four-bet shoved for about 285,000, and Colman called.

Fernandez: 9d9h
Colman: 8d8c

The flop fell 10c10h6s, no help to Colman. The turn was the 6c, keeping Fernandez in the lead.

“Six,” says Colman.

The river was the 6d, giving both players sixes full of tens to chop the pot.

“It’s still 2014,” said Joseph Cheong.

“You are very lucky,” commented Ray Qartomy.

“He wasn’t greedy. Just calling for a six instead of an eight. He knows what he’s doing,” said Chance Kornuth.

Dan Colman – 980,000 (61 bb)
Pablo Fernandez – 300,000 (19 bb)
