Chidwick Doubles to Half a Big Blind Before Soft Bubbling

Level 15 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick was forced all in from the big blind with just a single 1,000-chip and was at risk as action folded to Mauricio Salazar Sanchez in the small blind.

Stephen Chidwick: A4
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: Q5

Chidwick was able to maintain the best hand for a very small double with ace-high as the board ran out A6QK2.

The high-stakes crusher still only had half a big blind and therefore was once again forced all in from the small blind. Thomas Graupner opened to 9,000 from the hijack and Salazar Sanchez called on the button.

The flop of J5Q checked through and the same action took place on the 2 turn. Both players checked again on the 5 river and Salazar Sanchez showed 88 to win the pot as Graupner showed AK and Chidwick showed A9 to mark his elimination on the soft money bubble.
