...a chopped pot. After a half hour of hand-for-hand play, we finally had our first all in and call. On a flop of {6-Spades}

{6-Spades}

{9-Clubs}

{8-Clubs}

, Van Binh Pham bet 10,000. Tom Rafferty was the only other player in the hand. He raised to 30,000; Pham went to 50,000; Rafferty went all in and Pham called.

Rafferty: {5-Diamonds}

{5-Diamonds}

{7-Hearts}

Pham:

{5-Clubs}

{7-Clubs}

Improbably, both players had flopped the same straight. Rafferty was disgusted to see that Pham was also freerolling with a flush draw. The flush draw never filled, with the turn and river falling {6-Diamonds}

{6-Diamonds}

and

{8-Spades}

. They chopped up the pot and we went back to waiting for our bubble boy.
