Stephen Chidwick opened to 22,000 from the hijack, Martin Zamani three-bet to 88,000 in the small blind and Chidwick four-bet all in for around 430,000. Zamani snap-called and the players turned over their hands and Chidwick would be at risk.

Matin Zamani: {a-Diamonds}{a-Clubs}
Stephen Chidwick: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The board ran out {3-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}{4-Spades}{q-Spades}{4-Diamonds} and Zamani's aces held on for the pot. Knocking Chidwick out of the tournament in tenth and ending his chances at back-to-back USPO titles.
