Chidwick Wins Flip the Hard Way
Level 7
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 0 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised to 11,000 under the gun and was three-bet by Sam Laskowitz on the button to 35,000. Chidwick then moved all in for 289,000 to put himself at risk and Laskowitz quickly called.
Stephen Chidwick: J♠J♣ 
Sam Laskowitz: A♦K♥
Laskowitz pulled ahead on the 7♥7♠A♠ flop, pairing his ace. The 5♠ fell on the turn giving Chidwick additional outs to a flush draw.
The river landed the J♥ and Chidwick improved to a full house, jacks full of sevens to stay in contention.
