Chidwick is really short now and looking for a quick double up.

Level 20
We just switched to Razz, and on the first hand Michael Mizrachi started with a jack up.
"Grinder caught a jack, how is he going to win this one?" Luke Schwartz sarcastically said to his opponent who's been on a tear since the start of the final table.
There's been plenty of table talk so far, and Schwartz shows no signs of slowing down.
