Stephen Chidwick Eliminated in 2nd Place ($262,000)
For the second time during this heads-up match, David Peters looked down at 
. He raised to 175,000 and what happened next was a dream spot for anyone who's ever peeled the best starting hand. Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 500,000 with 
and Peters had no desire to scare him off of his hand, calling.
Chidwick then blasted three barrels on the 
board, firing 250,000 on the flop, followed by another 400,000 on the turn and the rest on the river. Peters utilized a simple strategy: call, call, snap-call.
"Look at this cooler!" Chidwick laughed when he saw Peters turn up his full house. While Chidwick has been outstanding all week, nobody is invincible in the game of poker. He fell shy of completing a remarkable treble but the second place for $262,000 puts him even closer to the US Poker Open Trophy. Meanwhile, the winner David Peters banked $400,000 for his efforts.
