Alaei Claims Chidwick's Chips
Level 19
: 5,000/10,000, 0 ante
Soon after play began, Stephen Chidwick found himself in a preflop battle with Daniel Alaei in which the latter was playing from the button and Chidwick from the blinds.
Having committed significant chips before the 
flop, Chidwick got the rest of his stack in at that point with 
, but unfortunately for him Alaei had flopped a flush with 
.
Chidwick was drawing especially thin, and after the 
fell on the turn there were no river cards that could save him, making the fifth street 
just a final bit of trivia as Chidwick hits the rail in 32nd place.
