"I Play Poker for a Living"

Level 18 : 25,000/50,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick moved all in for 297,000 from the button and found himself in dire straits after Koray Aldemir called.

Aldemir: {q-Clubs}{8-Hearts}
Chidwick: {q-Spades}{4-Spades}

The {a-Clubs}{9-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop was pretty dry, though the {2-Clubs} turn gave Chidwick a little something.

"Nice hand," Chidwick said after the {5-Hearts} peeled off on the river. He then began to get out of his chair.

"You won dude," someone informed him.

"Oh yeah," Chidwick upon noticing his winning Wheel. "I play poker for a living, no big deal?"

"When did you learn to play?" his girlfriend quipped from the rail.
