Hands #1-5: Tilston Jams on Chidwick

Level 16 : 7,000/14,000, 14,000 ante

Hand #1: There was a fraction of level 15 (6,000/12,000) remaining on the tournament clock so the players sneaked in two hands before the blinds went up. Jake Schindler picked up {J-Diamonds}{J-Clubs} in the first one. He made it 27,000 to go and took down the first pot of the day.

Hand #2: Keith Tilston raised to 28,000 from the cutoff with {Q-Hearts}{J-Spades}. Daniel Negreanu called from the big blind to see the {10-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} hit the flop. Both players checked and Negreanu spiked top two on the {8-Hearts} turn. He led out 20,000 and Tilston accepted the price to see the {A-Hearts} river. Negreanu fired another 80,000 and claimed the pot without a need to show his hand.

Hand #3: Brent Hanks moved all in from the button with {A-Hearts}{9-Clubs} and won the blinds and ante.

Hand #4: Jake Schindler limped the small blind with {8-Spades}{2-Spades} and Seth Davies checked his options with {K-Hearts}{5-Hearts}. The {10-Spades}{2-Hearts}{10-Hearts} flop brought something for everyone and Schindler led out 14,000, earning a call from Davies.

Schindler barreled the {9-Clubs} turn with a bet of 35,000 a Davies called again before the {6-Hearts} completed the board. Schindler slowed down with a check while Davies took his time to figure out the sizing of his value-bet. He eventually shoved for 258,000, almost twice the size of the pot. Schindler folded.

Hand #5: Stephen Chidwick was under the gun and he raised to 30,000 with {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}. Action folded to big blind Keith Tilston who looked down at {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades}. He eyed Chidwick's stack before three-betting to 130,000. Chidwick called.

The dealer revealed the {5-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{A-Hearts} flop and Tilston continued for 75,000. Chidwick paused for about 25 seconds before calling.

The {K-Hearts} turn improved Tilston into top two pair while Chidwick now had a flush draw. Tilston jammed for 308,000 effective and Chidwick folded instantly.
