Chris Is Back In the House
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Nevan Chang min-raised before the blinds went up and folded when Akshay Kapoor made it 320,000 to go in the small blind.
Quoc Dinh Nguyen then opened to 100,000 from under the gun and table short stack Chris Backhouse forfeited the big blind and big blind ante.
The very next hand, Renniel Galvez raised to 100,000 in the cutoff and Backhouse jammed the last 450,000 in the small blind. Galvez asked for a count and then sigh-called after some 20 seconds.
Chris Backhouse: 
Renniel Galvez: 
The 
board delivered the double up for the Englishman, who jumped back to 20 blinds.
