Everyone Loves a Chopped Pot

Level 12 : 1,000/2,000, 300 ante

After the player on the button raised to 5,000, Alexandre Viard moved all in for 38,500 from the small blind and Alberto Meran four-bet all in over the top from the big. The original raiser folded and the cards were turned up.

Meran: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
Viard: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

It was a classic flip, but in this particular hand the proverbial coin would come down neither heads nor tails. Instead, the board ran out {5-Clubs}{6-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{7-Spades} to put a straight out there. As the PokerStars commentators like to say, "Everyone loves a chopped pot."
