Event 1: Chop Chop

$500 + $60 Deep Stack NLH (Re-Entry)

Akiva Pearlman opened for 235k, then Jong Man Kim raised to 750k on the button.

Akiva tanked for a couple of minutes, then folded. Kim showed pocket Aces.

A few hands later, Philip Sam was all in and ahead with AK against Brian Lemke's A8.

The board came J 6 3 6 3 and they had to chop the pot.

Philip was all in again later with pocket 6s against pocket deuces. He missed another double-up when the board double-paired Jacks and Tens, forcing another chop.
