Chris Whitall and Nicholas E. Blumenthal just became embroiled in a blind-vs.-blind preflop situation that resulted in Whitall being all in and at risk for his tournament life with 
versus the 
of Blumenthal.
The flop came

The river improved Blumenthal to two pair but Whitall's hand was still best, and he survived.
