Dramatic Three-Way All-in Ends in a Chop
Level 22
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Nick Barksdale opened to 80,000 from the cutoff before Nick Hall jammed for 470,000 from the small blind. In the big blind, Walt Lustgraaf jammed for 490,000 and Barksdale snapped it off to put both players at risk.
Nick Hall: 5♠5♦ 
Walt Lustgraaf: A♠A♦
Nick Barksdale: J♠J♦
Lustgraaf was in great shape on the 8♥6♥4♥ flop until the J♥ turn gave Barksdale top set and was primed for a double knockout. However, the river was the 3♥ and the three players chopped the pot.
