Chen Doubles Through Blumenthal; Ward Gets a Shove Through

Level 26 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Zhigang Chen defended the big blind against a raise by Ira Blumenthal in middle position and check-jammed the A?9?9? flop. Blumenthal had bet 150,000 and called the all-in for 580,000.

Zhigang Chen: A?5?
Ira Blumenthal: Q?2?

Steve Yea almost fell out of his chair when he saw the cards of Blumenthal and repeatedly asked "queen deuce???" while the Thailand-based American smirked.

Chen held on the 4? turn and 10? river runout.

One table over, Christopher Mateo raised to 100,000 and Alex Chong called on the button. Thomas Ward jammed for 1,225,000 and got through with it.
