Level 2 : Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante

Stephen Chidwick, Alex Foxen and Christopher Nguyen were all in preflop for 18,000 chips.

When the flop hit 8♠A♦K♠, there were checks all around.

The turn K♣ brought a bet of 38,000 from Nguyen, and a call from Chidwick. Foxen folded.

The board paired again on the river with the 8♦. Nguyen studied for a bit, then bet 98,000, holding back a pair of 500 chips.

Chidwick quickly raised. Nguyen elected not to toss in his final 1,000.
