The battle of the big stacks was inevitable as tables are cut down with players busting out left and right.
The latest is the heads-on collision between Stephen Chidwick and Moses Saquin– both players came in as two of the chip leaders and remained as two of the leaders all throughout Day 2.
And this battle was all over preflop.
From the cut-off, Chidwick opened to 4,800 only to see Saquin re-pop to 18,000. Chidwick, relaxed and cool, made it to 51,000. Saquin had his own plans though, moving all-in with his big stack worth around 180,000.
Chidwick tanks and folds.
Saquin has now around 210,000 and Chidwick drops to just 150,000.
