There is a three-way all-in situation between three short stacks at Table 12, and all three have ace-jack suited.

Joseph Orsino:  Spade ASpade J
Mark Winchell:  Club AClub J
Ok Haselton:  Diamond ADiamond J

Unless somebody makes a flush, it’ll be a chopped pot, but clubs, diamonds, and spades are all in play for flushes.

The flop comes Heart KHeart 6Heart 3, and the entire table laughs as three hearts was the only flop that would guarantee a chopped pot. (The meaningless turn and river cards are the Diamond Q and Spade 3, respectively.)

Joseph Orsino  –  130,000  (13 bb)
Mark Winchell  –  112,000  (11 bb)
Ok Haselton  –  61,000  (6 bb)
