Humberto Lopes Galindo: Q♥Q♣
Galindo had already got up out of his chair, making his way off the tournament floor, when the dealer called him back, assuring him both stacks must be checked before he left. After a count, Galindo was still alive; he retook his seat with one red 500 denomination chip left behind the line.
"A chip and a chair," one of the other players at the table remarked.
