Stephen Chidwick Eliminated by Ben Tollerene
Big stack Ben Tollerene opened to 27,000 from the button and Stephen Chidwick shoved from the small blind.
Steve O’Dwyer folded the big and Tollerene didn’t need an official count to call, as he placed a stack of chips in the middle before tabling [KhKs]. Chidwick’s shove was for his final 215,000~ and he needed to hit to stay alive with [8h8s].
Chidwick’s attempt to win two British Poker Open events in one day ended after the [Ad5d4c7sKd] runout and now regardless of how Event #8 ends, Sam Soverel will retain his lead atop the BPO leaderboard.
