Chidwick Out in Two Hands
Level 18
: 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
On the tail end of a hand between Stephen Chidwick in the big blind and Giorgiy Skhulukhiya in the hijack, the completed board showed 
. With what appeared to be 70,000 in the middle, Chidwick bet 69,000 and left himself a single T-1,000 chip behind.
Skhulukhiya eventually called without using a time bank and Chidwick was caught bluffing with the 
for a busted gutshot. Skhulukhiya had that beat with the 
and climbed up to a million in chips.
Chidwick was forced all-in for the last 1,000 chip one hand later and Glib Kovtunov raised to 16,000. Morten Hvam jammed the hijack and that isolated successfully.
Stephen Chidwick: 
Morten Hvam: 
Chidwick could turn his single chip into 12,000 if he were to win but the board came 
to end his run.
