Rough Start for Chidwick
Level 1
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
Richard Yong, who finidhed second in the Main Event at the Maestral Resort & Casino, won a big pot off defending champion Manig Loeser, who happens to sit right next to him early on Day 1.
The same table also features Stefan Schillhabel and Stephen Chidwick, who just clashed in a medium-sized pot. Schillhabel had raised in the cutoff and Chidwick called. On the 
flop, Schillhabel continued for 5,000 and was called before the German fired a second barrel for 12,000 on the 
turn, Chidwick called.
After the 
river, Schillhabel made it three barrels by betting 31,000 and that forced a fold from Chidwick.
