Weng Takes From Chidwick
Malaysia's Beh Kok Weng has almost doubled his stack, but it came at the expense of the UK's Stephen Chidwick. It was Winfred Yu who was the initial instigator, making it 1,000 to go from the cutoff, with Chidwick calling from the button, before Weng squeezed to 4,500 from the big blind.
That was enough to get Yu to fold, but Chidwick tossed in the extras to take play heads-up to a 
flop, which Weng continuation-bet for 3,600. Chidwick raised to 9,000 in total with Weng making the call to bring in the 
turn.
The action happened so fast that we are not sure who shoved first, but all the chips went in extremely quickly and both players turned over their cards.
Beh Kok Weng: 
Stephen Chidwick: 
The only silver lining for Chidwick, was that Weng was not full stacked, but while the Brit had tuned the nut flush draw he was already drawing dead to Weng's flopped full house and the 
river just rubbed salt into the wound.
