Chidwick Wins the Race to Knock Out Tang
Level 13
: Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante
Action folded to Danny Tang in the hijack, and he raised to 80,000. It then folded to the big blind Stephen Chidwick, who three-bet all in for Tang's stack of 955,000, which Tang called.
Danny Tang: A♠Q♥ 
Stephen Chidwick: J♥J♦
It was a race for Tang's tournament life, but the A♦J♣10♣ flop put Chidwick in a dominant position after flopping a set. The A♥ on the turn improved Chidwick to a full house, but did give Tang outs to make a bigger full house. However, the 4♣ on the river was no help to Tang, and Chidwick took the pot and sent Chidwick to the rail with his full house, jacks full of aces.
