Tan Doubles Big Through Chidwick

Xiang Tan
Xiang Tan

Xiang Tan and Stephen Chidwick have been doing a fair bit of battling all day long. This latest battle saw a big, 80,000-plus pot go down and Tan doubling up through Chidwick.

Action folded to Tan in the small blind and he limped in. Chidwick checked his option in the big blind and the two players saw the flop come down {A-Diamonds}{K-Hearts}{J-Hearts}. Both players checked to see the {10-Hearts} fall on the turn. What looked like it was a pretty meaningless pot, suddenly escalating into an extremely blog-worthy hand.

Tan led the turn for 5,000 and Chidwick raised to 11,500. Tan moved all in for 40,100 and Chidwick quickly made the call, only to see that his {Q-Hearts}{8-Diamonds} was behind the {9-Hearts}{6-Hearts} of Tan.

Chidwick still had outs to a bigger flush on the river, but the {8-Spades} couldn't do it for him and he was forced to send over the chips. Tan increased to about 85,000 while Chidwick dropped to 83,000.
