Big Stacks Chidwick and Chen Tangle Twice
Level 31
: 150,000/300,000, 0 ante
James Chen raised to 700,000 on the button and Stephen Chidwick defended out of the big blind. The flop came 
and Chidwick check-folded to a bet of 400,000.
Robert Mizrachi joined the action with a button raise to 625,000 next and Chidwick in the small blind three-bet the pot to 2,180,000 to force a fold from Mizrachi.
Chidwick made it 700,000 to go from the button one hand later and fellow big stack Chen called in the big blind to see a 
flop. A check by Chen was followed by a continuation bet of 400,000 by Chidwick and Chen called.
The 
on the turn paired the board and both players checked to the 
river. Chen carefully cut out a min-bet of 300,000 and Chidwick also took his time before sending his cards into the muck.
