Jean-Yves Malherbe

Alex Livingston opened with a raise to 22,000 from middle position. In the next seat, Jean-Yves Malherbe reraised to a total of 49,000. Action folded around to Yevgeniy Timoshenko who was on the button. He cold four-bet to 114,000. Next to act was Annette Obrestad and she five-bet to a total of 270,000 from the small blind. Action folded around to Livingston who folded. Malherbe decided to move all in for a total of 801,000. Timoshenko quickly folded but after only a few seconds Obrestad called and the hands were tabled.

Obrestad: {K-}{K-}
Malherbe: {K-}{K-}

Both players were holding pocket kings and they would chop the pot unless a four flush came down, but the board ran out {6-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}{2-Spades}{5-Clubs}{7-Hearts} and both players were able to chop the giant pot with the same hand.
