Miracle Backdoor Saves Chen

Zhong Chen shoved it in from early position for 51,000 and Moritz Dietrich came over the top for a little under 100,000. Anton Morgenstern announced "gamble" and called as well from the big blind.

Zhong Chen:
Moritz Dietrich:
Anton Morgenstern:

Everyone had something to root for preflop, but it was Morgenstern who all but sealed it after the flop. Moritz was drawing dead after the turn, but Chen found a lifeline and jolted from his seat in anticipation.

The fell on the river to complete his backdoor flush, and Chen pumped his fist and celebrated loudly. The rest of the table, including Morgenstern, could appreciate Chen's good-natured spirit and celebrated along with the Dutchman.
