Hold The Backdoor!
Level 15
: 4,000/8,000, 1,000 ante
Chen Wenbin raised to 20,000 and Daniel Chutrov, who was seated to his immediate left, called. One player folded and Zoltan Boszormenyi squeezed all-in for 134,000. Wenbin reshoved and Chutrov went deep into the tank and looked set to call before folding; he later claimed to have held 
.
Wenbin's 
was flipping against the 
of Boszormenyi. The 
flop was good for those jacks, but Wenbin still said:
"Hold the backdoor!"
The dealer put the 
onto the turn amidst groans from the table as he hadn't held the backdoor" because Boszormenyi could now hit a flush. The river was black but the wrong suit, the 
leaving Wenbin's hand as best and sending Boszormenyi for an early lunch.
