Watson Loses Chip Lead to Chidwick in Huge Flip

Level 21
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised his button to 100,000 before Mike Watson three-bet jammed from the small blind, covering Chidwick's stack of 950,000. Jean-Noel Thorel quickly folded the big blind, after which Chidwick snap called.
Stephen Chidwick: J?J?
Mike Watson: A?Q?
No ace or queen appeared on the 4?7?8?8?K? runout, securing the double-up for Chidwick. He conquered the chip lead while Watson was left with just 11 big blind.
