Chiu-Chiu Train Derailed

With around 17,000 in the pot and a board reading {K-Spades}{J-Clubs}{Q-Spades}{6-Hearts}, David Chiu checked and allowed John Caridad to bet pot. Chiu, who only had a stack of 13,400, tanked for a minute, toying with his chips. Eventually he wrapped both hands around his pile and pushed it forward.

Caridad: {A-Hearts}{10-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}
Chiu: {Q-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{5-Hearts}{5-Spades}

Caridad had flopped Broadway and was out in front; however, Chiu could still take the pot if the board paired on the river. As the dealer burned, Chiu rose from his chair and prepared to meet his fate . . . the {10-Diamonds}. Chiu was eliminated from the tournament while Caridad chipped up to about 47,000.
