Chidwick Scoops Vitch to Double Up

Stud 8

Chris Vitch: / /
Stephen Chidwick: / /

Chris Vitch was the bring-in and he called after Stephen Chidwick completed. Both players had an eight out and both got a low card on fourth street. Chidwick bet and Vitch called before both drew a high card on fifth which went check-check.

Sixth street gave both players the eight-seven-five low with Chidwick having the better one. Vitch checked and called Chidwick's bet.

The river paired both players' hole cards as Vitch spiked a pair of sevens, leading to the pot. Chidwick, however, had aces and raised it up for the rest of his chips. Vitch called only to learn he was scooped, doubling Chidwick.
