Can We Describe This As Variance?

An extremely interesting hand just occurred at table 61. The dealer laughingly announced "Four all ins and four calls on table 61!!" There was quite a commotion at the table throughout the process but this is what it looked like when the dust settled...

Player 1: {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}
Player 2: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}
Player 3: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Player 4: {10-Hearts}{10-Spades}

Community Cards: {5-Diamonds}{7-Clubs}{6-Hearts}{4-Spades}{3-Hearts}

With a straight on the board, the players chopped the pot. They all had a good laugh about it, including Hoyt Corkins, who wasn't in the hand, but still seemed mildly amused. It's probably safe to say he's seen something like this before.
