Stephenson Nearly Has a Whopper of a Tale to Tell

Level 9 : 800/1,600, 1,600 ante

Michael Stephenson had a bet of 38,000 in front of him on a {q-Diamonds}{j-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}{k-Hearts} board, and Tim Flanders had jammed for 138,000. Stephenson said, "I have to call," before putting in the chips.

Tim Flanders: {a-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}
Michael Stephenson: {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs}

Both players had Broadway, but much to the chagrin of Stephenson, he was also being freerolled by the nut flush draw of Flanders. The {2-Clubs} river bricked off, and they chopped the pot, much to the relief of Stephenson.
