The Great One Gives a Gift to Archie Chateauneuf

Level 6 : 200/400, 50 ante

As we approached the table, Archie Chateauneuf had called an all-in shove from his heads-up opponent on a {3-Hearts}{6-Spades}{5-Diamonds} flop.

Chateauneuf: {9-Spades}{9-Hearts}
Opponent: {a-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Chateauneuf was the player at risk and was ahead going into the turn. Unfortunately, the turn was a {k-Spades}, leaving the Canadian with only two outs to save him.

Wearing a classic Edmonton Oilers hat and holding the number of the greatest player to ever play the game of hockey, Wayne Gretzky's 99, Chateauneuf spiked the {9-Clubs} on the river to stay alive and score the double-up.
