Chopped Pot

David Benyamine and Phil Galfond limped, Johnny Chan folded the small blind, and John Juanda checked from the big blind.

The flop came all babies -- {3-Hearts}{7-Hearts}{4-Spades}. Juanda checked, Benyamine bet 65,000, and Galfond called. Juanda then reraised with the rest of his chips, a total of 344,000.

Benyamine went in the tank for a bit. The last two hands hadn't gone so well for him. He folded.

Now it was Galfond's turn to decide what to do. He made the call.

Juanda showed 5-6-x-x for the nut straight, while Galfond showed the nut flush draw and an inside straight draw.

The {6-Clubs} on the turn completed Galfond's straight draw -- now both he and Juanda had a seven-high straight. The river was the {Q-Diamonds}, and they chopped the huge pot.
