Stephen Chidwick (at an earlier partypoker event)

After a raise from the cutoff, Stephen Chidwick dropped in a three-bet from the big blind. His opponent called and the dealer fanned a flop of {4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{2-Diamonds}. Chidwick checked and his opponent moved all in for 31,800. Chidwick thought for a minute before eventually making the call.

Stephen Chidwick: {a-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Opponent: {4-Spades}{3-Spades}

Chidwick was behind with just his ace-high and the {6-Diamonds} on the turn brought no help. However, the {q-Spades} on the river paired his queen and Chidwick sent his opponent to the rail.
