William Hjorth:
Dick Demerle:
The entire table rejoiced as both players turned up the same hand, however, Hjorth was freerolling both a flush and a knockout with the king of hearts. Much to Demerle's satisfaction, the board ran out and the two chopped the pot after both being dealt pocket kings.

Josh Ahler's road to the 2019 WSOP Main Event isn't a traditional one. He didn't buy in, nor did he sell action. Instead, the Social Media Manager for 247Sports won a charity tournament that gave him a $10,000 prize to enter the Main Event.
It happened last October in the “Music City Shootout” charity event held in Nashville, Tennessee. That tournament attracted the likes of Chris Moorman and Katie Lindsay, among others.
The event raised money for Mother To Mother, a nonprofit that provides vital health, safety, and wellness items for infants and children in need.
In the end, Ahler took down the top prize and now nearly nine months later he finds himself competing on poker's biggest stage.
In a recent hand, Ahler limped from the hijack and inspired the player in the small blind to do the same. The player in the big then exercised his option with a raise to 2,500, which only Ahler called. When the flop came down , the big blind checked and folded to a bet of 2,000 from Ahler.
It wasn't the biggest pot but it kept Ahler going in the right direction as he's currently sitting on a six-figure stack.
