Aces Cracked Early in the MSPT Venetian Poker Bowl IV Main Event
The flop was 
and three players were still holding cards. David Mallet in early position opened for 600 with about 3,000 in the pot. Noam Muallem made the call but Wade Bowling directly to his left made a large raise. Bowling threw in three blue 5,000 chips to take control of this pot. Mallet went all in for less and Muallem also went all in for just less than the pot.
David Mallet: 
Noam Muallem: 
Wade Bowling: 
Mallet was ahead with all the chips in the center, but his control of the hand would be short-lived with the 
turn card. Mallet slammed the table seeing that he was now drawing dead in the hand. Muallem yelled, "We chop the pot!" as the 
river came. Bowling took a moment to gather himself as he watch his pot get divided into two stacks.
