Much Ado About Nothing

Two players were involved in a sizable pot at Table 11. On a board showing {7-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}, Walter Chambers check-called a 600-chip bet from an unknown player in Seat 4.

The turn brought the {Q-Hearts} and both players checked.

On the river, the {J-Spades} brought a bet of 1,200 from Chambers.

At this point, the unknown player in seat 4 muttered, "If I call... (inaudible)." Upon hearing this, Chambers exposed one of his hole cards, the {A-Spades}, as the unknown player simultaneously tossed in five orange chips, worth a total of 5,000. The floor was called over to make a ruling on the hand, and it was determined that Chambers would have the option of folding, calling, or raising.

Chambers announced, "All in," and his opponent quickly called. The players tabled {A-Spades}{7-Spades} and {A-Clubs}{4-Hearts} to chop the pot with a Broadway straight.
