An Intriguing Battle

Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

There's an intriguing battle occurring on one of the near tables, a permtastic David Williams taking on young Brit Stephen Chidwick. We all know Williams from his WSOP ventures and recent WPT win, but Chidwick is a lesser known entity within live circles.

More familiar by his online alias of stevie444, Chidwick is an STT specialist, having once won over 100 seats for the WSOP Main Event, and is regarded as one of the most talented online players around.

Today, however, he's looking to make his mark here in the flesh, facing a more experienced player in Williams. But the ball is currently in Williams' court, as he holds a commanding lead over his foe with 100,000 playing 20,000 and is closing in on victory.

On their last encounter, both players checked a {K-Clubs}{10-Hearts}{6-Spades}{2-Clubs} board before Chidwick bet 21,000 on the {Q-Spades} river. Williams snap-called and turned over {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds}, which was more than enough to topple Chidwick's {K-Spades}{9-Hearts}.
