Massive Chop

Nicholas Verkaik{x-}{x-} / {7-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{a-Hearts}{4-Clubs} / {x-}
Phil Hellmuth{x-}{x-} / {j-Spades}{5-Hearts}{3-Spades}{6-} / {x-}
Christopher George{x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} / {x-}

We reached the table on seventh street, and Verkaik was already all in. Hellmuth bet enough to put George all in, he called, and all three hands were opened.

Verkaik{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Hellmuth{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}
George{q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Verkaik apparently made aces-up on seventh, because he was very excited. George won the other half of the pot with the only qualifying low, but had he pulled a spade on seventh, he would've scooped the whole thing.
