Bad Beat for Chau Giang

Chau Giang
Chau Giang
A few hours ago Chau Giang asked to grab one of the chairs nearby to our PokerNews desk. We said no problems and he decided to place the second chair on top of the first, to give himself a little extra elevation at the table.

All seemed well, until recently when Giang was sitting with both chairs facing with their backs to the table.

Just yards from us we just witnessed Giang's top chair unbalance itself from the one below, to see Giang fall flat on his back onto the floor. While moderately amusing, Giang was in some distress as he appears to have given his head a whack onto the dealer's chair of the table behind him.

"Bad beat Chau!" yelled Barry Greenstein from across the room as the players were all distracted by the fall.

A little dazed and still rubbing his head, Giang is now back in action, with just one chair, and in the traditional manner.

Giang has 32,000 chips.
