Misstep For Galfond; Chidwick Doubles

Level 23 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick doubles
Stephen Chidwick doubles

Hand #15: Stephen Chidwick was first to act, and raised to 80,000. Max Lehmanski three-bet to 190,000 on the button, and the action folded back to Chidwick, who folded as well.

Hand #16: Steve Sung raised to 105,000 in the hijack seat, Chidwick defended his big blind, and the flop came {k-Diamonds}{5-Hearts}{j-Hearts}. Chidwick checked, Sung continued for 150,000, and Chidwick called. The turn brought the {4-Diamonds}, Chidwick checked a second time, and Sung fired out 375,000. Chidwick folded.

Hand #17: Dani Stern raised to 90,000 in the cutoff seat, Chidwick three-bet to 225,000 out of the small blind, and Phil Galfond moved all in from the big blind. Stern quickly folded, and Chidwick snap-called for 1.24 million.

Galfond: {9-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Chidwick: {k-Clubs}{k-Hearts}

Chidwick was in great shape to double, and remained ahead when the flop fell {8-Diamonds}{q-Spades}{3-Hearts}. Galfond did pick up two backdoor draws, however, as back-to-back hearts or back-to-back straight cards could eliminate Chidwick.

The {a-Clubs} on the turn was a brick, and a meaningless {2-Hearts} completed the board, doubling Chidwick to 2.6 million chips.

Galfond still has more chips than when the official final table began.

Hand #18: Lehmanski raised to 90,000 from under the gun, Stern three-bet to 205,000 on his direct left, and Sung cold four-bet to 500,000 out of the big blind. Both Lehmanski and Stern folded.
