Lehavot & Chidwick Clash in Huge Feature Table Hand
After being moved to the feature table on the break, 2013 World Series of Poker third-place finisher Amir Lehavot and UK pro Stephen Chidwick clashed in a huge pot.
We picked up the action after Chidwick had four-bet to 65,000 from the small blind and Lehavot five-bet to 120,000 from the button. Chidwick responded with a six-bet shove and Lehavot called off for 348,000. Chidwick barely had him covered, but he was the favorite.

It was a big flip for the chip lead, and according to the PokerNews Odds Calculator, Chidwick was a 56.55% favorite while Lehavot would survive 43.03% of the time. The flop was no help to Lehavot, and he fell to a 3-1 dog. The turn knocked him down even further to 13.64%, meaning he needed either an ace or king on the river to stay alive. On the other hand, Chidwick would win 86.36% of the time, and as fate would have it this was one of those times as the river improved him to a full house.
With that, Lehavot was eliminated in 106th place while Chidwick took over the chip lead.
