Anton Morgenstern raised to 80,000 from the button and Marek Blasko shoved in the small blind. Zhong Chen quickly folded his big blind. Morgenstern asked for a count, Blasko said he had around 450,000 but wanted to count to make sure. Morgenstern looked at it for a bit while Blasko counted and then decided to make the call.
Marek Blasko: 
Anton Morgenstern: 
The board ran out 
for Blasko's pocket nines to hold and double him up.
The dealer counted out Blasko's stack and confirmed that Blasko had 515,000 in total, leaving Morgenstern behind with 650,000 as the shortest stack.
