Chop It Up

Steve Chanthabouasy made it 35,000 to go from the cutoff, and on the button, Joseph Williams potted to 144,000. Chanthabouasy moved all in, and Williams called for the few chips he had left.

Showdown:
Chanthabouasy: {A-Hearts}{k-Hearts}
Williams: {A-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

The flop fell {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}, and things looked bad for Williams. The announcer said, "He'll need to catch a queen or running clubs to stay alive." And then as an afterthought, added, "Or a four to chop." Bink. {4-Hearts} on the turn. The {4-Clubs} on the river meant both Chanthabouasy and Williams were playing the board, and they split the pot.
