The Old Counterfeit
Level 21
: 6,000/12,000, 2,000 ante
We happened upon the action with around 120,000 in the pot and a flop of 
. A raising war resulted in start-of-the-day chip leader Nick Perkins getting his last 151,000 in the middle, but he was behind JC Chen.
Chen: 
Perkins: 
The 
turn was of no consequence, but the 
river was. Perkins spiked two pair, and his aces and deuces ended up being bigger than Chen's kings and jacks. Chen celebrated not realizing he'd been counterfeited, but the rest of the table quickly brought it to his attention.
