Neagoe Avoids a Chop to Double

Nível 27 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Cheng Zhao min-raised from the button and Darius Neagoe called from the big blind.

After Neagoe checked the A♣9♣A♦ flop, Zhau shoved for Neagoe's remaining 300,000. Neagoe thought about it briefly before making the call.

Darius Neagoe: J♥9♦ All in
Cheng Zhao: 9♥4♥

If Neago could avoid a chop put he would win the pot. The 8♥ turn and 7♥ river meant Neagoe's jack-kicker would play and he doubled up.
