Before the flop Emanuel Seal raised with {A-Spades} {7-Spades} and called when a short-stacked player moved all in. Seal was up against {Q-Clubs} {Q-Hearts} and the two saw an interesting flop-- {5-Diamonds} {5-Clubs} {5-Hearts}. Seal needed an ace and that's just what the turn brought, the {A-Hearts}. The other player was already walking away from the table when, incredibly, the {5-Spades} hit on the river to give both players quads with an ace kicker. "It's a chop, it's a chop!" Joe Hachem called after the player who thought his Main Event was over, and granted a reprieve he quickly returned to re-take his seat.
