Miraculous Chop

[user67765]

Eric Crain and Kenneth Shelton have just chopped a pot, but not in typical fashion.

All the chips were in preflop with Crain holding {5-Spades}

{5-Spades}

{5-Clubs}

against Shelton's {K-Clubs}

{K-Clubs}

{10-Hearts}

. It looked like Crain was heading for a double up when the flop came {4-Diamonds}

{4-Diamonds}

{3-Diamonds}

{5-Hearts}

to give him a set, leaving Shelton drawing dead to win the hand. His only hope was a runner-runner for a straight to split the pot.

Drawing to a runner-runner split pot isn't the best situation to be in, but wouldn't you know it, the {7-Diamonds}

{7-Diamonds}

on the turn and the {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

on the river put a straight on board and they chopped it up!
