An Unlikely Split Pot
Level 7
: Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante
There were only two players left to the J♦9♥8♦ flop with nearly seventy big blinds in the middle when Michael Schulz in late position declared all-in. Jacques Correa Ortega on the button asked or a count and the shove was deemed to be for 47,300 total, which the Brazilian called with the covering stack.
Michael Schulz: A♥K♥ 
Jacques Correa Ortega: A♦6♦
The 8♥ turn gave Schulz a flush draw of his own and the J♣ river paired the board for the second time to result in a split pot.
