Fred Berger Eliminated...Almost!

Fred Berger moved all in from under-the-gun for 240,000 and the action folded to Dale Eberle in the big blind who made the call.

Berger: {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs}
Eberle: {A-Spades}{10-Diamonds}

The board ran out {K-Clubs}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}{8-Hearts}{Q-Spades} and there is some confusion as the players shake hands after it is announced the Eberle has won the pot and Berger is eliminated. However after the board is rechecked it becomes clear that the pot should be chopped as the kickers of each player do not play. Berger stays alive!
