Chiu Crests a Million

As far as we can remember, David Chiu is the only one of these three who had yet to cross over one million chips. That just changed in a pot with Stephen Chidwick.

Razz:

Chidwick: (x-x) / {A-} {3-} {8-} {3-} / (x)
Chiu: (x-x) / {2-} {5-} {5-} {10-} / (x)

Chidwick was the completer on third street, but Chiu raised the bet. Chidwick called.

On fourth, Chidwick check-called another bet. On fifth, he bet his lead after Chiu paired. Both men checked through sixth. On seventh, Chidwick made one last bet, but Chiu was having none of it.

"Why you bet your full house?" he asked as he squeezed his cards. Then, a moment later, "Raise."

Chiu's declaration sent Chidwick's cards spinning instantly into the muck, and the two men have drawn their stacks closer together. Ylon Schwartz takes the lead by virtue of sitting that one out, but the three men are dangerously close on the score sheet.
