Here Comes Stevie!

Stud:

Elior Sion completed with the {A-Clubs} , and Stephen Chidwick came along with the {9-Hearts} showing.

Sion: (x-x) / {A-Clubs} {Q-Diamonds} {4-Spades} {K-Hearts} / (x)
Chidwick: (x-x) / {9-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {7-Hearts} / (x)

Sion led the betting all the way through sixth street with Chidwick calling. Sion took a long sniff at his river card and checked, though, and Chidwick went ahead and put the bet into the middle. Sion tank-called.

Chidwick showed {9-Spades} {7-Diamonds} {6-Clubs} / {9-Hearts} {4-Hearts} {J-Clubs} {7-Hearts} , and the two pair allowed him to drag the hefty pot. With it comes a boost up over the million mark, and his persistance has brought him all the way back into contention for the bracelet.
