Chopped Pot on the Table of Doom

Jorn Walthaus raised to 750 and Andreas Hoivold called behind to see an {A-Spades} {A-Clubs} {J-Diamonds} flop, which both players checked -- most sneakily, as it turned out...

Walthaus bet out 1,400 on the {8-Diamonds} turn and Hoivold called; Walthaus stuck another 3,100 in on the {K-Diamonds} river and again, Hoivold called.

Walthaus: {A-Diamonds} {9-Clubs}
Hoivold: {A-Hearts} {6-Hearts}

That king had been Hoivold's saviour -- they chopped it up, and went about their business.
