Stephen Chidwick continues to amaze on the high roller circuit with a victory Tuesday afternoon in Poker Masters Event #7: $10,000 No-Limit Hold'em. The British poker star earned $183,600 for his efforts — his second cash of the series — and is now a serious threat (as always) for the coveted Purple Jacket.
Chidwick left the PokerGO Studio in Las Vegas Monday night following the conclusion of Day 1 with a convincing chip lead at 2,950,000 chips and five players remaining. Dylan DeStefano was in second place with 1,970,000.

Chidwick the Poker Master
Give Chidwick a chip lead entering a final table and all we can say is good luck to the other players. The poker pro from across the pond showed up with a big stack and did what he usually does — dominate.
The eventual champ first took out Dan Smith with pocket kings that held up against pocket eigh's in a preflop all-in hand. He wouldn't continue to crush the final table throughout. On the final hand, DeStefano raised to 180,000 with q♥️
