Thao Thiem was the button for an entertaining hand. He opened for 26,000, then folded when Chris Tryba shoved from the small blind and Dwyte Pilgrim also shoved from the big blind. Dwyte thought he might be ahead with {A-Clubs}

{A-Clubs}

{9-Hearts}

, but Tryba showed down {A-Spades}

{A-Spades}

{Q-Diamonds}

. Neither player hit a flop of {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{J-Clubs}

{10-Clubs}

. Tryba made the nuts on the turn with the {K-Hearts}

{K-Hearts}

.

"Good game, Dwyte, good game," said Tryba. He apparently didn't realize that Pilgrim still had outs to a chop. One of them, the {Q-Spades}

{Q-Spades}

, fell on the river, giving both players the same straight.

"Good game, Chris, good game," said a delighted Pilgrim as the dealer split up Thiem's 26,000 and pushed half the pot to each of Pilgrim and Tryba.
