Chop It Up?

This match doesn't want to end. Huck Seed moved all in preflop with the chip lead and Sam Farha called. They were flipping for the right to move onto the final, with Farha's {4-Spades} {4-Diamonds} a slight favorite to Seed's {k-Spades} {7-Clubs}. Seed paired his seven on a flop of {7-Hearts} {5-Diamonds} {8-Diamonds}, but Farha picked up additional outs by drawing at a gutterball straight around a six. The {9-Spades} on the turn turned those outs into "chop" outs; Farha could only win with a four on the river. The river fell {6-Spades}, putting a straight on the board to the disbelieving gasp of everyone in the room. The pot was chopped up, and so the match continues.
