Fox and Chidwick Clash, Newey Stays Alive
Stephen Chidwick moved all-in for 645,000 from the cutoff and Mikita Badziakouski went into the tank on the button.
Badziakouski counted out the remaining stacks behind him, who were all covered by Chidwick. The Belarusian was as well, behind 270,000 chips, and he eventually folded after burning a time extension.
Elio Fox was in the small blind and he asked for an exact count of Chidwick’s shove. After he got that, he looked at Paul Newey’s holdings, who had 80,000 in the big blind.
Fox then moved all-in for 405,000 and Newey folded.
Fox needed to win a flip with [7h7d] against [JdTd] and he did, as the board ran out [8c5d3d4s7s].
In the orbit that followed Chidwick got two shoves through, Badziakouski got one through, and Newey doubled through Fox after he made a flush with [KsTs] against [7s2h] for more than a double.
