Is It Over Already? No, Not Yet . . .

Chris Bjorin raises from early position to 56,000, Chau Giang reraises from late position, Bjorin moves all in, and Giang immediately calls. The audience ignores the rail and rushes the table to watch what they expect might be the final hand of the night, and some of the players stand up to watch.

The players show:

Bjorin: {A-Clubs}{A-Diamonds}{Q-Clubs}{3-Clubs}
Giang: {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}{J-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}

The players seem somewhat disappointed that the hands are so similar, and there's a solid chance of a chopped pot. The board comes {K-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{9-Hearts}, and the two players make identical hands -- two pair, aces and nines, with a king kicker. It's a chopped pot.
