Erik Seidel opened to 17,000 from under the gun and was called by Stephen Chidwick in the cutoff along with Tom Marchese in the big blind. The flop came {5-Spades}{5-Hearts}{4-Diamonds} and Marchese checked to Seidel who continued for 20,000. Chidwick called and Marchese folded.

The turn was the {8-Diamonds} and Seidel checked this time, which prompted a bet of 30,000 from Chidwick. Seidel stuck around to see the {6-Hearts} on the river and both players checked. Seidel tabled {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} but was no good against Chidwick's {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}.

Less than an hour ago, Chidwick was down to just seven big blinds and has now brought his stack above average.
