An Unusual Split Pot
Level 10
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
A short stack raised to 6,000 off 30,000 and Terry Brookes then reraised to massive 140,000 in the cutoff. Jehan Richards called all-in and Jonathan Woolley in the big blind tank-called for around 105,000. The initial raiser folded and later said he had pocket nines.
Jehan Richards: A♥Q♦ 
Jonathan Woolley: Q♣Q♠
Terry Brookes: K♦K♥
The board ran out 7♠6♣5♠9♥8♠ and they chopped it up with the straight on the board! Brookes had initially celebrated but was then happy not to have lost. He also added that he "didn't want any action" with his pocket kings and hence reraised so big,
