Chop It Up

Mike McClain was at it again, opening another pot with a raise to 8,000. The action then fell to Emilio Porcalla who quickly announced, "I'm all in." Action folded around the table and back to McClain, who asked for a count.

"37,100" the dealer told him, and McClain made the call.

Showdown:
McClain: {A-Spades} {K-Spades}
Porcalla: {A-Hearts} {K-Hearts}

The flop came down {J-Diamonds} {Q-Spades} {10-Hearts} giving both players the nut Broadway straight and a chance at hitting running flush cards. The turn and river filled out anticlimactically, however, finishing out {7-Diamonds}, {2-Diamonds} and the players took their bets back.
