Pop Gets a Lucky Chop
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Bogdan Pop moved all in for 333,000 on the button and Gavan Ryan called in the small blind, having Pop covered by just 5,000.
Bogdan Pop: A?10? 
Gavan Ryan: A?Q?
Pop found himself dominated as the A?J?5? flop gave both players top pair. The J? turn meant Pop could only hope for a chop, and he found his fortunate card when the dealer turned over the K? on the river.
"Oh my God," Ryan said, laughing off the beat. Pop wiped the sweat off his brow as he sat back in his seat.
