Dramatic Flop Leads to Chop

Level 7 : 300/600, 600 ante
Blair Hinkle
Blair Hinkle

From the big blind Stephen Nussrallah checked a {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{8-Clubs} flop over to Blair Hinkle in the hijack, who bet 2,500. Nussrallah check-raised to 8,000, and Hinkle three-bet enough to put Nussrallah at risk for his last 28,000 or so. Nussrallah immediately called.

Stephen Nussrallah: {7-Clubs}{5-Clubs}
Blair Hinkle: {k-Clubs}{10-Clubs}

Nussrallah's flush draw was bested by Hinkle's, but Nussrallah still had two live cards and an open-ender to draw to.

"Chop outs," Stephen Song said once the {8-Diamonds} hit the turn, and he proved prophetic as the {6-Spades} river put a full house on the board, chopping the pot up between Nussrallah and Hinkle.
