Chen Doubles Through... Again!

The new Gloria Gaynor

Andrew Alan Chen is certainly doing it the hard way. As expected, Chen pushed all in for his remaining 224,000 as soon as he found a half-decent holding, but again he was looked up, this time by Salvatore Bonavena in the big blind, and again, he was dominated...

Bonavena = {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}
Chen = {K-Clubs}{9-Clubs}

He may have been teetering on the edge of defeat, but Chen turned water into wine on the gasp-inducing flop...

{9-Hearts}{9-Spades}{A-Diamonds}

A double nine in a line was enough as the turn came {4-Clubs} followed by an academic {7-Clubs} on the river.

Chen doubles through to 470,000 and heads off to the nearest newsagent to purchase a lottery ticket.
