Chidwick Baits Hellmuth

Level 12 : 3,500/7,000, 7,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick limped in from the cutoff and Phil Hellmuth pushed all-in for his last 38,000 on the button. Chidwick snapped him off and tabled {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Hellmuth reluctantly showed {a-Spades}{9-Spades} and would need some help to stay alive.

The flop came {q-Diamonds}{j-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and Hellmuth was in dire straits. The turn was the {k-Diamonds} and the river brought the {7-Diamonds} improving Chidwick's hand to a flush.

Meanwhile, on the table beside, Brian Rast lost the remainder of his chips as well and there are just two tables left.
