Flopping the World and Chopping

Level 22 : 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante

Rafal Michalowski raised to 26,000 in first position, Brian Rast moved all in for 142,000 in the hijack seat, and Michalowski called.

Michalowski: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}
Rast: {a-Hearts}{k-Spades}

Rast was ahead, but the {10-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{q-Hearts} flop smacked Michalowski right in the face. He had an open-ended straight flush draw, but the two ended up chopping the pot when the turn ({q-Spades}) and river ({10-Clubs}) both paired the board.
