Chidwick Spikes River to Bust Vaskaboinikau and Double Through Vieira
Level 8
: Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Joao Vieira opened to 10,000 from early position, only to be met with a three-bet jam from Mikalai Vaskaboinikau to 56,000.
Action folded to Stephen Chidwick in the big blind, who produced a cold four-bet jam of 250,000. Vieira made the quick call.
Mikalai Vaskaboinikau: 5♠4♦ 
Stephen Chidwick: A♥9♥
Joao Vieira: A♠K♣
Vieira looked in great shape to scoop the pot and remained so after the J♠2♦10♣ flop and 8♠ turn.
However, the 9♠ rolled off on the river to give Chidwick a pair of nines and send him a chunky pot just before the end of the day.
