Warm Welcome for Chidwick
Level 3
: 0/0, 2,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick had never played a hand of short deck poker before taking his seat here in Jeju but his first experience with the dynamic game was the best imaginable.
Chidwick peeled in the cutoff, facing a limp from Ben Lamb and a shove of 72,000 from Wai Kin Yong. Chidwick looked him up and found himself dominating Yong's .
The board ran out and Chidwick's tens held to help him nearly double his belongings right off the bat. Yong fired another bullet and continued with 100,000.
