Chidwick Doubles to Half a Big Blind Before Soft Bubbling
Stephen Chidwick was forced all in from the big blind with just a single 1,000-chip and was at risk as action folded to Mauricio Salazar Sanchez in the small blind.
Stephen Chidwick: A?4?
Mauricio Salazar Sanchez: Q?5?
Chidwick was able to maintain the best hand for a very small double with ace-high as the board ran out A?6?Q?K?2?.
The high-stakes crusher still only had half a big blind and therefore was once again forced all in from the small blind. Thomas Graupner opened to 9,000 from the hijack and Salazar Sanchez called on the button.
The flop of J?5?Q? checked through and the same action took place on the 2? turn. Both players checked again on the 5? river and Salazar Sanchez showed 8?8? to win the pot as Graupner showed A?K? and Chidwick showed A?9? to mark his elimination on the soft money bubble.
