Hands #10-14: Chidwick Doubles But Quickly Falls Back to 10 Bigs

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

Hand #10: Stephen Chidwick open-shoved 171,000 from the hijack and button Daniel Negreanu looked him up.

Chidwick: {J-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}
Negreanu: {8-Spades}{8-Clubs}

The board ran {5-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{A-Spades}{6-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} to save Chidwick on the river, doubling him to 377,000.

Hand #11: Jake Schindler made it 35,000 on the button, holding {Q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}. Keith Tilston defended his big blind, calling with {K-Spades}{Q-Clubs}. The {3-Clubs}{10-Spades}{2-Diamonds} flop favoured Schindler who continued for 30,000. Tilston check-called and they went to the {2-Clubs} turn. Tilston checked yet again and Schindler took down the pot with a second barrel worth 80,000.

Hand #12: Seth Davies opened the button to 30,000 with {J-Clubs}{10-Spades} and Chidwick called from the big blind with {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. Chidwick checked the {4-Spades}{J-Spades}{4-Clubs} flop and let Davies bet 18,000 before check-raising to 60,000. Davies stuck around.

The {A-Spades} turn card halted the fireworks and both players tapped to see the {Q-Spades} fall on the river. Chidwick burned one of his timebanks and he took over a minute before making his move. He led out 125,000 and Davies snap-called, winning the pot with a higher flush. Chidwick slipped to just over 10 big blinds.

Hand #13: Seth Davies looked down at {K-Hearts}{J-Spades} in the cutoff and opened the action with a raise to 32,000. Brent Hanks called from the big blind with {Q-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. Both players caught a piece of the {K-Spades}{7-Hearts}{8-Hearts} flop and Hanks check-called 35,000. The {A-Diamonds} turn went check-check and Hanks checked the {5-Diamonds} river as well. Davies slid 80,000 in front of him, forcing a fold from Hanks.

Hand #14: Jake Schindler found {5-Spades}{5-Hearts} in the first position and won the hand with a raise to 34,000.
