Chidwick's Overpair Holds Up

Level 5 : 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante

The board read {8-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{7-Clubs} and there was already around 27,000 in the pot. Andrew Lichtenberger checked and Stephen Chidwick tossed in a bet of 20,000. Lichtenberger check-raised all in and Chidwick called off his last 104,500 chips.

Stephen Chidwick: {9-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}
Andrew Lichtenberger: {a-Clubs}{k-Clubs}

Chidwick was out front with his overpair and would need to dodge an ace, king, or a club to secure the double up. The {7-Hearts} on the river paired the board and Chidwick doubled up, leaving Lichtenberger with around 10,000. He would go on to bust in the next couple of hands.
