Moments after claiming Trevor Pope's entire stack on a virtual freeroll, Stephen Chidwick turned the trick again, felting an opponent who was drawing dead after a ridiculous raising war on the flop.
The drama began with the flop showing 
, and Chidwick having checked to the preflop raiser. His opponent obliged with a c-bet of 3,300, and Chidwick pumped it up to 7,700. The other player paused for over a minute before cutting out a raise, four-betting to 16,300. Chidwick was undeterred by this aggression, however, and he hoisted a single stack of 20 yellow T1000 tournament chips forward for a five-bet to 27,500.
Chidwick's move sent the opponent into the tank, and he waited for more than two minutes before calmly moving his entire stack of 55,000 or so chips forward.
Chidwick snap-called and rolled over the 
, hoping the other player would not show up with the dreaded 
. Instead, the all-in player sheepishly turned over his 
for pure air. He had been on a stone cold bluff the entire time, raising preflop and barreling hard with eight-high, but ultimately running into a hand that had flopped perfect.
On the 
turn, the all-in bluffer picked up four outs to the wheel straight, but fortune did not favor the bold on this day, and the 
river ended his tournament.
Chidwick, meanwhile, catapulted to over 370,000 with the win, giving him the chip lead by a wide margin with more than four times the average stack.

Trevor Pope ran extremely well when he took down Event #2 of the 2013 WSOP, but that run good eluded him here today.
Stephen Chidwick checked from the under the gun on a 
flop, Pope betting 7,900 from the button. Chidwick check-raised to 16,900 and after 45-seconds, Pope moved all in and Chidwick called immediately.
Chidwick: 
Pope: 
Pope let out a hiss as he saw he was being freerolled. The fell on the turn, leaving Pope drawing dead. The inconsequential

"I lost a flip," said Craig McCorkell to us as we saw all but 1,700 of his stack being pushed towards David Benefield.
The next hand McCorkell moved all in from under the gun for his last 1,500 and William Stevenson isolated him with a three-bet to 4,100. McCorkell showed 
and Stevenson the .
The 
flop put McCorkell ahead, the 
turn changed nothing and the river meant McCorkell doubled to 3,700 chips.

Myro Garcia opened from the small blind and then called when Faraz Jaka three-bet all in from the big blind.
Jaka: 
Garcia, 
Jaka needed a queen to stay in the tournament, but the ladies stayed clear of the 
board, sending jaka to the rail.

John Hennigan's stack had drifted into what Dan Harrington has termed the "Red Zone," and with his 
he made is stand.
The man known as "Johnny World" opened for 4,400, and his opponent moved all in to put Hennigan at risk. The longtime pro called off with his pocket pair, but found he was trailing badly to the .
When the final board ran out 
, Hennigan's tournament came to an end, and he headed to the payout desk for his fourth cash of the 2013 World Series of Poker.
