Two Birds, One Stone

In this case, the birds aren't Peter and Paul, but Steve Paul-Ambrose and Tom Schneider, the latter of whom was all in for 650 preflop. Paul-Ambrose called, but the button made it 1,200, only for the two players to form a sidepot and see a {3-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds}{5-Clubs} flop. Paul-Ambrose check-raised all in with {4-Clubs}{4-Spades}, but was swiftly called by his opponent's {9-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}. No help on the {10-Diamonds} turn and {5-Hearts} river and Paul-Ambrose was bowled out, as was Tom Scheider whose {A-Clubs}{J-Diamonds} also failed to improve.
