All the Excitement for a Chop

Level 18 : Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

As told by the players at the table:
Brian Wardrup was in the hijack and raised to 24,000 and Kenna James was on the button and made the call. The flop came out with Q?6?5? and Wardrup bet out 25,000 and James three-bet to 50,000 and received the call.

On the turn 6? Wardrup checked and James bet 65,000 and Wardrup jammed for about 225,000 effective and James made the call with his top pair and flush draw.

Kenna James: Q?8? All in
Brian Wardrup: K?Q?

Wardrup was holding the best hand with top pair of queens with the better kicker and the river was the 6? which created a chopped pot as both players held a full house.
