Chidwick Joins the Chip Leaders

Level 4 : Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened to 10,000 on the button, which both Vinny Lingham and Emilien Pitavy called in the blinds.

The action checked through on the 2♦8♣K♦ flop, which Lingham took as the green light to take a stab. His bet of 10,000 managed to remove Pitavy, but Chidwick elected to raise to 30,000, which received a quick fold from Lingham.
