Ace-King Versus Ace-King Does Not End in a Chop
Level 6
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Barak Wisbrod opened the cutoff to 10,000 and Shoichiro Hamada called on the button. In the big blind, David Peters squeezed to 45,000. Wisbrod then announced all-in, Hamada folded, and Peters snapped it off as the effective stack for 299,000.
David Peters: A♦K♦ 
Barak Wisbrod: A♥K♠
A chop was looking likely until the Q♠9♦5♦ flop gave Peters a flush draw. Nothing changed on the 8♣ turn until the 10♦ landed on the river, giving Peters the flush and the full double, and Wisbrod took in on the chin as he tossed out his payment.
