Walking past Amarillo Slim's table, we saw him get all in with ace-king off suit and get called by ace-king off suit.

When the board ran {2-Spades}{9-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{J-Spades}{7-Diamonds}, he chopped the pot and kept his chances alive. On an adjacent table, a player moved all in with king-jack off suit and got called by pocket jacks.

King-jack took the lead when he flopped a straight on a 9-10-queen board, but the jacks caught up as the last two streets came king-10.
