Chan Caught in the Middle

Scooping the crowd for Isaac Baron (still haven't seen him), we passed by Terrence Chan's table. Preflop, an early-position player raised to 500 and Chan called, only to see a player behind him raise to 2,500. That folded everyone else back to the original raiser, who moved all in for about 5,000. Chan knocked the table in frustration and mucked his hand. The other player called with pocket 9s; the all-in player showed ace-queen. When the board developed, {6-Diamonds} {10-Clubs} {2-Spades} {k-Hearts}, Chan begged the dealer to put a jack on the river, suggesting that he may have folded the best hand. The river bricked, leaving Chan to steam over folding the winner.
