Three-Way Chop

Level 10 : 500/1,000, 100 ante

From under the gun, Todd Charles Jatras raised to 2,500 to start things off. Action didn't go much further before getting kicked up even more as Ivan Starostin reraised from the next seat to 6,400. Sam El Sayed was in the next seat and flatted before play folded all the way back around to Jatras. He called as well and the three playrs went to the flop.

The flop came down {9-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{6-Spades} and everyone checked to see the {5-Diamonds} land on the turn. Again, everyone checked. The river then double paired the board with the {9-Hearts}. Again, everyone checked and it didn't seem like anyone wanted to win the pot. When the hands were tabled, here's what we saw.

Jatras: {A-Clubs}{K-Diamonds}
Starostin: {A-Spades}{10-Spades}
El Sayed: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

As you can see, all three players held an ace and that went along with the two pair on board. They chopped up the pot three ways and wound up profiting just a third of the blinds and antes each.
