Chen and Samual Collide Again
Level 12
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante
In a blind-on-blind situation, Pete Chen and Darius Samual had seen a flop of 4♠10♥5♦ with over 20,000 chips in the middle. Chen checked; Samual bet 9,000, and Chen called.
The turn brought a J♣ and after Chen checked, Samual took a peek at his opponent's stack and shoved all in. Chen checked his cards before he made a quick call for his remaining 51,000 chips.
Pete Chen: J♦4♦ 
Darius Samual 10♣2♥
Only a ten on the river would eliminate Chen, but a 4♣ improved the Taiwanese player to a full house and earned him a full double-up.
