"Everyone Loves a Chopped Pot!"

That's a famous saying here on the EPT, and in a recent hand it certainly proved true.
It happened when Remi Castaignon opened for what looked to be 1,000 from the hijack and Germany's Jonathan Currle flatted from the cutoff. Hani Bahna then three-bet to 7,000 from the small blind, and after thinking about it for 30 seconds or so, Castaignon moved all in for 30,800. Somewhat surprising, Currle quietly announced a call.
Bahna seemed a bit shocked by the sudden turn of events and he hit the tank. Eventually he found a fold of what he said was pocket kings.
Castaignon: 
Currle: 
Neither player seemed surprised to discover their opponent held the same hand, but as Connor Drinan well knows, four-flushed boards do happen. The 
flop gave Currle the freeroll to running spades, and the 
turn made it a reality. Fortunately for Castaignon, the harmless 
peeled off on the river and he received half the pot.
Despite losing 7,000 in the hand, Bahna seemed excited to have escaped without losing more.
