Nuts vs Nuts = Chop

Trai "Danny" Dang opened from the button and John "Tex" Barch was his only customer in the big blind.

The flop fell {4-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{J-Spades} and Barch check-called 150,000 from Dang.

Both players checked the {7-Diamonds} on the turn, and Barch led for 400,000 after the {10-Hearts} rivered. Dang thought for a bit before moving all in and Barch called immediately.

Barch showed {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}{Q-Spades}{3-Spades} for the broadway and Dang showed {K-Hearts}{Q-Hearts}{9-Spades}{8-Spades} for broadway as well.

There were over 1,500,000 chips in the middle but the massive pot was chopped.

Wake Up Danny!

Action folded to Trai "Danny" Dang who completed from the small blind. Nenad Medic checked his option and the dealer flopped {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}.

Dang led for 50,000 and Medic called.

The turn brought the {K-Diamonds} and Dang led again - this time for 150,000. Medic thought for a bit longer this time, but again called.

Both players checked the {8-Diamonds} on the river and Dang quickly tabled his cards, {A-Spades}{Q-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Spades}, for a rivered full house. Medic mucked and Dang raked in the 250,000-chip pot to chip up to 932,500. Medic slipped to 1,420,000.

Barch tabled {k-Hearts}{k-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{5-Hearts} for kings full of jacks and Medic mucked his hand.
