Chidwick Spikes River Queen to Double; Katz Loses to Koon Soon After

Level 15 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante

Elijah Berg opened to 42,000 on the button only to see Stephen Chidwick shove from the small blind for 161,000 and Isaac Haxton cold four-bet jam in the big blind. Berg got out of the way and the hands were tabled.

Stephen Chidwick: {k-Diamonds}{q-Hearts}
Isaac Haxton: {a-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds}

Chidwick was in trouble but both of his cards were live. The board ran out {10-Hearts}{8-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{4-Diamonds}{q-Clubs} and Chidwick spiked a queen on the river to score the double.

Moments later, Jason Koon eliminated a short-stacked Cary Katz to leave the field at 10 players.
