A Kingly Battle

We saw the ESPN TV crew rushing over to Johnny Chan's table so we followed and found Chan all in holding the 
up against Shane Abbott's 
. The odds of two players being dealt the same pocket pair are around 135-to-1 but with flushes still possible Chan was still at risk.
The flop came 
which did give Abbott outs to a runner runner flush, but the turn brought the 
securing a chop pot for the two players. After the meaningless 
fell on the river the pot was split up and Chan's stack was at around 26,000.
