Hand #148: Keith Tilston opened to 250,000 on the button with {a-Hearts}{4-Clubs} and Stephen Chidwick called with {9-Hearts}{7-Spades}. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} and both players checked to the {6-Clubs} on the turn. Chidwick led out for 500,000 and Tilston stuck around to see the {k-Diamonds} on the river. Two more checks and Chidwick raked in the pot with a pair of sevens.

Hand #149: Chidwick announced all in on the button with {k-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} and Tilston quickly mucked his hand.

Hand #150: Tilston raised it up to 250,000 on the button with {10-Clubs}{6-Spades} and Chidwick defended with {5-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} in the big blind. Both players hit a pair on the {a-Spades}{10-Spades}{5-Clubs} flop and Chidwick checked. Tilston bet 150,000 and Chidwick made the call. The turn brought the {8-Diamonds} and both players checked to the {8-Spades} on the river. Chidwick made a small bet of 100,000 and Tilston looked him up as he won the pot with a two pair, tens and eights.

Hand #151: Chidwick limped in on the button with {7-Hearts}{2-Clubs} and Tilston checked with {10-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}. The flop fell {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs}{3-Spades} and Chidwick quickly folded to a bet from Tilston.

Hand #152: Tilston looked down at {a-Diamonds}{3-Spades} and just limped in on the button. Chidwick moved all in with {3-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} and Tilston was put to the test for his tournament life. After using up a time extension, Tilston made a good laydown sending the chips to Chidwick.
