Chidwick Doubles Through Katz

Level 11 : 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Cary Katz limped in from middle position and Stephen Chidwick bumped it up to 22,500 on the button. Action folded back around to Katz who set down a big stack of 5,000 chips totaling about 100,000 only to see Chidwick move all-in for 118,500. Katz put in the rest to put the US Poker Open money leader at risk.

Stephen Chidwick: {k-Diamonds}{k-Clubs}
Cary Katz: {10-Diamonds}{10-Spades}

Unfortunately, for Katz, Chidwick woke up with a monster and scored an easy double with a {5-Clubs}{a-Clubs}{8-Spades}{2-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} run out.
