Cooler Flop Gives Chidwick a Double

Level 11 : 5,000/10,000, 1,000 ante

When we got to the table, there was 261,000 already pulled into the pot and a flop of {q-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}{k-Diamonds}. The action escaped us, but we do know that Stephen Chidwick got his stack of 209,000 all in against Igor Kurganov.

Kurganov: {k-Hearts}{j-Clubs}
Chidwick: {q-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

It was a cooler flop as Kurganov flopped two pair only to run into Chidwick's set. Neither the {7-Diamonds} turn nor {2-Spades} river was the king Kurganov needed and he sent over the vast majority of his stack to Chidwick.
