Massive Chop

Christopher George{x-}{x-} / {4-Spades}{8-Spades}{2-Spades}{k-Diamonds} / {x-}

We reached the table on seventh street, and Verkaik was already all in. Hellmuth bet enough to put George all in, he called, and all three hands were opened.

Verkaik{a-Diamonds}{4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}
Hellmuth{k-Hearts}{k-Spades}{6-Clubs}
George{q-Hearts}{6-Spades}{3-Diamonds}

Verkaik apparently made aces-up on seventh, because he was very excited. George won the other half of the pot with the only qualifying low, but had he pulled a spade on seventh, he would've scooped the whole thing.
