Everyone Doesn't Hate a Chopped Pot

Level 3 : 100/200, 0 ante

Jim Lakin and Nick Syrigos were heads up, after a Lakin preflop raise and a call by Syrigos.

The flop came {3-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Lakin led for 700. Syrigos called.

It was bet, call again on the turn when the {7-Spades} and Lakin led out for 1,500.

On the river, Lakin slowed down after the {5-Clubs} paired the board. Syrigos bet 1,200 and Lakin called pretty quickly. Both players turned over {a-}{j-} and chopped the pot.

It seemed to come as a relief to Lakin, who had bet the flop and the turn, but checked for about ten seconds straight on the river, indicating he might not have loved the paired board.
