Ho Chops Three-Ways with a Wheel

Level 5 : 100/200, 0 ante

We walked into a very interesting hand between Maria Ho and two fellow opponents. The pot was very small, around 3,500, and the board read {5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{3-Spades}{a-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}.

Ho was first to announce her hand, calmly stating, "Wheel," as she revealed {a-Hearts}{2-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}. Usually, this would be a scoop and Ho would have picked up the whole pot. However, both of Ho's opponents also had a wheel:

Opponent 1: {a-Spades}{2-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{k-Spades}
Opponent 2: {a-Clubs}{2-Spades}{3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}

"All three of us flopped it?!" said one of the shocked opponents. The three players ended up chopping the pot three-ways, bringing Maria's stack to just about 9,000.
