A Chip and a Chair

A quick walk around the Pavilion room saw Dennis Phillips collecting chips putting him around 12,000, Tim West sitting with around 10,000, and Andre Akkari cashing in on a few pots.
The one person that stuck out the most was Jason Somerville who appeared to have no chips in front of him. Somerville seemed to be just sitting at his table watching the action, but he was dealt a hand and we saw him plop his last green chip on top of his cards. We don't know what happened, but Somerville was sitting with one chip worth 25.
Somerville then put his last chip in and another player raised it up to 400. The rest of the table folded and Somerville found himself at risk.
Somerville: 
Opponent: 
The board came 
and Somerville was awarded his double up, and was pushed his 125 chip pot.
A few hands later when we went back to check up with Somerville we saw he was sitting with 350. A player in middle position had raised to 400, the small blind had called and Somerville moved all in from the big blind.
The flop came 
and both of Somerville's opponents checked. We had a repeat of action on the 
turn, and again on the 
river with both players checking.
Somerville announced he had a pair of fours and flipped over 
, the small blind then said "sorry man" and flipped over his 
like he had the best hand. Nine high however was not going to win the hand. The middle position mucked and Somerville collected the pot.
