With roughly 30,000 chips already in the middle, Stephen Chidwick and Scott Margereson had been dealt a flop of Q23.

Chidwick checked from the hijack, and Margereson placed out a bet of 9,000. Chidwick sprang into action, check-raising to 45,000, which Margereson called.

The 6 turn landed, and Chidwick executed another check-raise. This time, when checked to Margereson made a bet of 24,000, and Chidwick raised to 65,000. Margereson called, and the pot was getting substantial.

Chidwick didn't slow down on the Q river, moving all in for his opponent's effective stack of 141,000. Margereson snapped, and the cards were tabled.

Scott Margereson: 54 All in
Stephen Chidwick: AQ

Chidwick had rivered three of a kind, but Margereson already had the nut straight on the turn, which gave him the full double up.
