Newey Flushes Chidwick
Level 3
: 400/800, 75 ante
Paul Newey bet 20,000 on the river of a board showing 
and after deliberating for some time, his heads-up opponent in the hand, Stephen Chidwick made the call.
Newy showed 
for the rivered flush and swept the pot, leaping above average and sending Chidwick down in the counts with 66,300. that still equates to over 80 big blinds at this early stage, however, so Chidwick won't be panicking.
Both Chidwick (2nd) and Newey (9th) are two of England's most successful live tournament players in history with $7.3m and $4.5m in live earnings respectively. Who will add to their record of cashes in this tournament? We'll find out tomorrow in this two-day event.
