Big Stax 500 (Day 3): Rocco Gets A Chop Out Of It

Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/10,000)

Total Entries: 775

Players Remaining: 15

Andrew Cimpan opened the pot from middle position at Table 57 to 125,000.  Action folded around to Rocco Luciano in the small blind, who shoved for 880,000.  After getting the exact count, Cimpan made the call, and the hands were tabled:

Luciano: K♣ Q♥

Cimpan: A♦ K♠

Flop: K♥ 4♦ 9♠

Turn: 9♣

River: 9♦

It looked as if Rocco was going to head to the podium to get paid out, but the board ran out running nines, giving both players the same full house.
