Lucky Chop for Nguyen versus Ngata

Level 20
: Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

According to the table, all the chips went in the middle on a board J?8?9?10? between Nam Nguyen, at risk for a stack 230,000 and Aroha Ngata who had her covered:
Nam Nguyen: Q?J?
Aroha Ngata: K?Q?
Ngata had the nut straight, but Nguyen found a lucky K? on the river to also give her the straight and avoid the elimination by chopping the pot.
