Don't look now, but David Chiu has just gone from 2 big bets to chip leader in the span of three hands, including that last double up.
The next hand was three ways in a Stud Hi/Lo, though the pot stayed pretty small. Chiu did get a raise in on sixth showing 
, but the river went check-check between he and Stephen Chidwick. Chiu turned up 
for two pair, and that gave him the pot.
One hand later, Chidwick completed with the 
, and Chiu defended his bring-in with the 
. Chidwick's pulled the 
and bet fourth street, and Chiu's 
was good enough for call. On fifth, Chiu pulled the 
to make an open pair, and his bet quickly chased Chidwick out.
Chiu is in charge, but this match is being played at a high level with short stacks.
