Just Another Double for Chidwick

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

The action folded around to Stephen Chidwick in the small blind who wound up getting all of his 780,000 chips in the middle against Ben Tollerene in the big blind.

Once again, Chidwick was in a dominated position holding {a-Spades}{5-Hearts} against Tollerene's {a-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}. However, when the board ran out {7-Spades}{6-Spades}{3-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{2-Spades}, Chidwick made a straight and the table continued to outrage about Chidwick's luck this week.

"Hold on, I have to tweet this," said Daniel Negreanu.

"You are so lucky man. I'm sure you deserve it but wow!" Sean Winter tooted.
