Quads on Board Steal a Pot from Antonius

Level 14 : 2,000/4,000, 500 ante

We usually don't write chopped pots, but this one was quite unique.

It happened over at Table 10 when Patrik Antonius opened for 9,000 on the button. A short-stacked player then moved all in for 63,500 from the button, the blinds folded, and Antonius made the call.

Antonius: {A-Spades}{Q-Diamonds}
Button: {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts}

The Finn had his opponent dominated and the {7-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{3-Hearts} flop was safe enough. The button could still win with a ten and could chop if the board either paired the seven or came running threes. Well, a ten didn't show up, and neither did the seven. Instead, the improbable happened as the {3-Clubs} peeled off on the turn followed by the {3-Spades} on the river. Both Antonius and his opponent had quads and their aces meant it was a chopped pot.
