Chidwick Gets a Massive Double Just Before the First Break

Level 23 : 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In the battle of the blinds, David Peters raised to 185,000 with {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} and Stephen Chidwick called in position with {A-Spades}{7-Spades}.

The dealer pulled out an action-packed {A-Hearts}{6-Hearts}{3-Spades} flop, giving Peters the bottom two pair while Chidwick connected with the top pair. Peters fired 160,000 and Chidwick called.

The {7-Hearts} turn shifted the winning-percentage towards Chidwick's hand as he now had the top two pair on the three-heart board. Peters bet another 420,000 and Chidwick burned a timebank to consider his options. After just under a minute, Chidwick raised all-in for 1,490,000 total and Peters called right away to see he was drawing very slim.

The {8-Clubs} river missed Peters' four-outer and Chidwick doubled to a massive lead.

Keith Tilston Eliminated in 4th Place ($125,000)

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Keith Tilston
Keith Tilston

David Peters had {A-Clubs}{7-Spades} in the first position and he raised it up to 90,000. Action folded to big blind Keith Tilston who defended his {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts}.

Tilston was in troubles on the {3-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs} flop, having his top pair dominated by Peters' hand. Tilston check-called 80,000 and Peters improved to top two pair on the {A-Spades} turn. Peters fired a second barrel, making it 220,000. Tilston check-called again.

They carried on to the {4-Clubs} river which brought a fourth wheel card on the table. Tilston paused for nearly 30 seconds and then announced he was all-in for 920,000. Peters called rather quickly to send Tilston packing in fourth place, good for $125,000.

Tilston Takes It With a Lead

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Button Sean WInter had {A-Spades}{9-Hearts} and he priced it up to 95,000. Keith Tilston peeled {9-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} in the small blind and he matched the bit to see the flop heads-up against Winter.

The {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}{4-Hearts} flop was checked and the {J-Clubs} missed both players as well. Tilston tried to steal the pot, leading out 100,000. It worked exactly as he hoped. Winter let his hand go.

Ben Tollerene Eliminated in 5th Place ($100,000)

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Ben Tollerene
Ben Tollerene

David Peters raised the button to 90,000 and Ben Tollerene paused in the big blind before pushing all-in for 470,000. Peters threw in a calling chip and the cards were turned up.

Tollerene: {A-Spades}{4-Diamonds}
Peters: {Q-Spades}{10-Spades}

Tollerene was slightly ahead but he saw a disastrous {10-Diamonds}{10-Clubs}{Q-Clubs} flop that gave Peters a full house right away. Tollerene could only hope for a miracle ace-ace runner-runner but the {4-Spades} turn locked it up for Peters, leaving Tollerene with the $100,000 fifth-place prize.

Chidwick Outflops Peters in a Three-Bet Pot

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Peters was first to act and he looked down at {5-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. He raised to 90,000 and his neighbour Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 255,000 with {A-Spades}{J-Diamonds}. Peters called out of position.

Chidwick got the better of the {2-Spades}{6-Spades}{A-Diamonds} flop, hitting the top pair. Peters checked to him and Chidwick continued for 125,000. That was enough to win the pot and reclaim the chip lead.

Peters Wins With the Second Barrel

Level 22 : 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

David Peters made it 90,000 on the button with {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} and short-stacked Ben Tollerene defended his big blind with {K-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Peters continued with a small 50,000-bet on the {A-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{J-Clubs} and Tollerene stuck around, check-calling.

The {A-Spades} turn paired the board and Tollerene checked his king-high again. Peters took almost the full 30 seconds before announcing "one-twenty". That finally convinced Tollerene to fold the best hand.
