Sometimes, Sharing Isn't a Good Quality

Matthew Brinckley raised to 1,200 from under the gun. Both Michael Tran and Ian Burchell made the call. The flop came down {Q-Spades}

.

Brinckley bet 6,000, Tran called, and then Burchell moved all in for 26,700. Brinckley made the all-in call for his last 11,100 and this sent Tran into the tank. He decided to fold his hand and showed {A-?}

-- letting top pair, top kicker slide into the muck. The two other players exposed their cards for the showdown with the turn and river still to come.

Showdown:
Brinckley: {A-Spades}

Burchell:

The dealer quickly ran out the turn and river -- {7-Diamonds}

-- and Brinckley chopped the pot up with Burchell. The only player that lost out on this hand was Tran when he folded the same hand that both his opponents held.
