No-Limit Hold'em
Dario Sammartino opened to 50,000 from the button. Lyle Berman was in the small blind and announced he was all in. Sammartino asked for a count, which totaled 206,000, and called.
"I've only looked at one!" Berman exclaimed.
"Ace?" Sammartino asked. Berman confirmed. "I have an ace too!" said Sammartino. The two turned over their hands.
Dario Sammartino: 
Lyle Berman: 
The two both found themseles with the same hand and the board ran out 
, securing the chop by the flop.
On the very next hand, Berman shoved all in from the button and got it through as well, further adding to his stack.
