Chip and a Chair For Ma, Demlakian Doubles
Level 18
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
In a pot with over 200,000 in it on a 5♣2♠9♦ flop, Vasken Demlakian committed his stack of exactly 300,000 and was eventually called by Shengfeng Ma, who had 305,000 in his stack.
Ken Demlakian: K♠K♥ 
Shengfeng Ma: 9♠8♠
Demlakian was way ahead with his Cowboys and found a beautiful turn card as the 2♥ removed some of Ma's outs. No nine appeared on the 4♥ river, and Demlakian was shipped the pot that left with Ma with a single chip worth 5,000.
