Split-Pot Hold'em

Level 22

Under the gun, John Monnette opened to 17,000, and Rami Boukai three-bet shoved for 41,000 from the cutoff. Monnette quickly called when it came back around to him, and he had Boukai in a world of trouble.

Showdown
Monnette: {10-Spades} {10-Diamonds}
Boukai: {9-Spades} {9-Diamonds}

Boukai needed help in a hurry, and he'd find a most unusual board. It came {4-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts}, and the straight on board saves Boukai's tournament life.

Chop it up, boys.
