Level 8
: Blinds 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Huabao Chen raised to 3,000 from early position and was called by Stephen Chidwick on the button and Esther Taylor in the big blind.
Taylor checked to Chen, who continued for 5,000 on the 7♥9♠10♣ flop. Chidwick moved all in for 18,500 total, which got a fold from Taylor and a reluctant call from Chen after a bit of a tank.
Stephen Chidwick: K♠J♠9♥8♥
Huabao Chen: J♣J♦7♣6♦
Chidwick had flopped the nuts with his jack-eight, and the 5♦Q♣ runout changed nothing to award Chidwick a much-needed double up.
