Chidwick Doubles Through Lingham
Level 15
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised from under the gun to 120,000 and met resistance in the form of Vinny Lingham from the big blind, who three-bet to 275,000. Chidwick called, and they headed to a flop.
Lingham continued for 250,000 on the J♣8♣3♥ flop, to which Chidwick responded by moving all in for 720,000. Lingham wasted no time in calling and immediately received the bad news.
Stephen Chidwick: A♠J♦ 
Vinny Lingham: 10♠10♦
Chidwick had flopped top pair, and Lingham needed help if he was to drag in this pot.
Alas, no help arrived on the 8♦ turn or the 6♥ river, and Chidwick got the full double-up.
