Stephen Chidwick

Hand #66: Stephen Chidwick was dealt {K-Diamonds}{J-Hearts} and raised to 175,000 from the first position, putting in more than a half of his belongings. Boutros Nadim was next to act and while he seemed interested, he let his {A-Hearts}{10-Hearts} go. David Peters, however, found {K-Hearts}{Q-Clubs} in the small blind and moved all-in. Chidwick called off for the rest of his chips.

The {9-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{8-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds}{7-Spades} board held Peters in front as Chidwick left the tournament in fifth place, good for $54,400.

Hands #61-65: Peters Bets Big Into the Nuts

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #61: Boutros Nadim raised to 100,000 in the cutoff with {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} but did not pick up any action.

Hand #62: David Peters opened to 110,000 on the button with {a-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Stephen Chidwick shoved all in for 325,000 with {a-Clubs}{2-Hearts} in the big blind. Peters quickly called and it appeared as though a chop pot would be inevitable. The flop came {10-Spades}{10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and a chop became more likely. The {3-Hearts} on the turn and the {q-Spades} on the river ensured a chopped pot.

Hand #63: Nadim picked up another walk in the big blind.

Hand #64: Justin Bonomo limped in from the cutoff with {j-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Justin Young raised from the big blind. Bonomo laid his hand down and Young picked up the pot.

Hand #65: Nadim raised to 125,000 on the button and with {a-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Peters called form the big blind with {10-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}. The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Spades}{6-Diamonds} and Peters checked to Nadim who fired a large bet of 275,000. Peters made the call with middle pair and the {9-Clubs} hit the turn. Both players checked to the {j-Spades} on the river. Peters used up one of his time extensions before firing 600,000. Nadim was sitting on the nut straight and shoved all in rather quickly, forcing Peters to make a lay down.

Hands #56-60: Peters Wins Four Consecutive Hands

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #56: Cutoff Boutros Nadim raised to 95,000 with {K-Spades}{5-Spades} and Justin Bonomo called from the big blind with {8-Hearts}{6-Spades}. Both players checked the {4-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{7-Spades} flop before Bonomo led out 160,000 on the {10-Clubs} turn. Nadim let his hand go.

Hand #57: David Peters made it 110,000 from the button with {A-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. Bonomo found a stronger ace in the small blind but eventually decided to fold his {A-Spades}{8-Diamonds}. Stephen Chidwick folded the big blind and the pot went Peters' way.

Hand #58: Peters opened to 90,000 with {A-Spades}{3-Diamonds} and picked up the blinds and ante again.

Hand #59: Peters raised for the third time in a row, this time with {2-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}. Only small blind Nadim matched his 90,000 offer with a creative {K-Hearts}{10-Hearts} hand while Justin Young folded ace-five in the big blind. Nadim didn't like the {5-Clubs}{6-Spades}{A-Hearts} flop and gave up to Peters' bet of 125,000.

Hand #60: Peters received a walk.

Hands #50-55: Peters Flopping the Goods

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #50: Justin Bonomo raised to 80,000 from the hijack with {q-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Boutros Nadim three-bet to 225,000 with pocket tens. Bonomo folded and Nadim showed his cards while he picked up the pot.

Hand #51: Justin Young raised to 90,000 on the button with {a-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} and both of the blinds folded.

Hand #52: Nadim raised to 110,000 from under the gun with {a-Diamonds}{j-Spades} and picked up the blinds and ante.

Hand #53: Nadim received a walk in the big blind and flashed the {a-Spades}{9-Spades}.

Hand #54: David Peters opened to 90,000 from under the gun with {k-Hearts}{q-Clubs} and Young defended his big blind with {10-Spades}{8-Spades}. The flop came {k-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and Young checked to Peters who continued for 70,000. Young quickly sent his cards to the muck and Peters picked up the pot.

Hand #55: Stephen Chidwick raised to 80,000 from the cutoff with {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs} and got a call from Peters in the big blind with {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts}. The flop came {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{4-Spades} and Peters checked to Chidwick who bet 50,000. Peters check-raised to 140,000 with trip sixes and Chidwick made the call. The turn landed the {9-Clubs}, improving Peters' hand to a full house, and he led out for 155,000. Chidwick made the correct laydown and Peters raked in the pot.

Level: 21

Blinds: 20,000/40,000

Ante: 30,000

Hands #46-49: Nadim Smells Aces But Can't Find the Fold Button

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #46: Justin Bonomo received a walk.

Hand #47: Boutros Nadim made it 60,000 from the first position, holding {A-Hearts}{A-Spades}. Action folded to big blind Stephen Chidwick who called with {Q-Clubs}{6-Spades}. Nadim couldn't find any extra value as Chidwick folded to his delayed continuation bet on the {8-Spades}{5-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{10-Spades} turn.

Hand #48: Bonomo raised to 65,000 from the button and Nadim defended his big blind. The {9-Spades}{6-Spades}{A-Spades} flop brought second nuts for Nadim who had {Q-Spades}{5-Spades}. The Lebanese player check-called 75,000 before both players checked the {6-Diamonds} turn. Bonomo's {K-Clubs}{4-Hearts} picked up some showdown value on the {K-Hearts} river and Nadim priced the river at 105,000. Bonomo paid off only to see his opponents' flush.

Hand #49: David Peters started the hand with a raise to 65,000 from early position and Nadim smelled the blades. "Feels like pocket aces," Nadim said.

He was right as Peters had {A-Spades}{A-Hearts} but Nadim flatted the small blind with {K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds} anyway. The {K-Spades}{2-Hearts}{5-Hearts} flop saw Peters continue for 70,000 and Nadim check-raised to 150,000.

Peters elected to call and then checked back the {Q-Hearts} turn. The river was the {4-Clubs} and Nadim check-called 200,000, laughing when he saw Peters turn up the aces.

Hands #41-45: Young Puts His Stack at Risk...Twice!

Level 20 : 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #41: Stephen Chidwick raised to 60,000 from under the gun with {8-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} and Justin Young shipped all in for 300,000 with {a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}. Chidwick quickly made the call and the two players were racing. The flop came {k-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds} and Young picked up a straight draw. The turn brought the {a-Spades} and Young took the lead with a pair of aces. The river was the {4-Hearts} and Young held on to double up.

Hand #42: Justin Bonomo limped in from the small blind with {10-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} and Chidwick checked his option holding {8-Spades}{7-Diamonds}. The flop came {j-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} and Bonomo checked to Chidwick who bet 30,000. Bonomo stuck around to see the {3-Hearts} on the turn and checked again. Chidwick checked behind and the {k-Diamonds} peeled off on the river. Bonomo fired a bet of 125,000 and Chidwick mucked his eight-high.

Hand #43: Bonomo raised to 70,000 on the button with {q-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and Boutros Nadim three-bet to 530,000 in the big blind with {a-Spades}{k-Diamonds}. Bonomo quickly sent his cards to the muck and Nadim poked some fun at Bonomo about his recent {q-Hearts}{9-Hearts} hand.

Hand #44: Bonomo opened again to 65,000 from the cutoff with {8-Hearts}{7-Spades} and Chidwick called on the button with {a-Clubs}{j-Clubs}. The blinds folded and the flop fell {q-Spades}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs}. Both players checked and the {10-Spades} landed on the turn, giving each player a draw. Bonomo led out for 135,000 and Chidwick called to see the {q-Diamonds} pair the board on the river. Bonomo bombed the river with a bet of 600,000 and Chidwick quickly folded.

Hand #45: Chidwick raised to 60,000 from the cutoff with {q-Clubs}{9-Clubs} and Nadim flatted on the button with {a-Clubs}{2-Clubs}. Young three-bet shoved all in for 615,000 in the small blind with {k-Hearts}{9-Hearts} and forced everyone to fold.
