Munteanu Doubles Through Chehade
Level 32
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Bogdan Munteanu opened to 500,000 from the button and Georges Chehade defended from the big blind.
The flop came Q♣8♥9♥. Chehade checked, Munteanu bet 325,000, Chehade shoved with a covering stack and Munteanu, who had started the hand with just over 3,500,000, snap-called for his tournament life.
Bogdan Munteanu: K♥Q♥ 
Georges Chehade: J♥6♥
Chehade had a flush draw and gutshot but was a big underdog against Munteanu's top pair and higher flush draw. The flush completed on the 2♥ turn leaving Chehade drawing dead and after the J♣ river Munteanu scored a full double up.
