Chop It Up?

Chops are pretty uncommon in triple draw, but not entirely unheard of. Just ask Phil Hellmuth. He was involved in a three-way pot where each player put three bets in before the first draw, one before the second and third draws, and three after the third draw. It was a huge pot that would have rocketed the winner up the leaderboard, but instead it wound up chopping when Hellmuth and another player both turned over the same hand: 8-7-5-3-2. We can only imagine what was going through Hellmuth's head when he realized he was getting just half of the pot.
