Chidwick Doubles Through Tollerene
Level 25
: Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick raised the pot to 875,000 from the cutoff, and was called by the big blind Ben Tollerene.
The flop came 8?5?J? and Tollerene led out to put Chidwick all in for his stack of 1,750,000, which Chidwick snap called.
Stephen Chidwick: Q?Q?10?8? 
Ben Tollerene: A?7?6?5?
Chidwick was in front with his pocket queens, and when the board ran out J? on the turn and 9? on the river, he improved to a queen-high straight to secure the double up.
