All In First Hand Ends in a Chop

Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
On the first hand of the final table, Cedric Jaby opened to 125,000 in early position, Christopher Arpal three-bet to 500,000 in the small blind, Jaby moved all in, and Arpal called for his last 1,400,000.
Christopher Arpal: A♥K♠
Cedric Jaby: A♠K♦
Both players had the same hand as the flop came 5♠9♠A♣, giving Jaby some outs to a backdoor flush. The 9♥ fell on the turn to guarantee a chop once the 3♥ fell on the river.
