Chopping Up Unknown Hands

Level 15 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

From under the gun, Erik Seidel raised to 20,000. Philipp Gruissem three-bet from the big blind, and Seidel called.

The flop came down {K-Spades}{K-Clubs}{J-Diamonds}, and both players checked to see the {10-Hearts} land on the turn. Both players checked again.

The river completed the board with the {9-Spades}, and Gruissem fired 65,000. Seidel called.

Both players tabled the same hand to chop the pot, but the cards weren't pulled into vision of the camera. Both players either held {A-}{K-}, {A-}{Q-} or {A-}{J-} as we were able to see an ace and paint, but that was it.
