Sep 06, '13
There have been a number of peculiar chops in the last couple of minutes on the felt. In one hand Dennis Bergeron was all in with pocket tens on a short stack and got saved by the board. His opponent was ahead with pocket kings and he had Bergeron’s chip stack covered, but the board ran out 87456 for a straight. Chop-chop, Bergeron survived, but he is still in trouble on a short stack worth just 3,550.
