Chidwick Hits Running Queens to Take the Lead

Level 27
: Blinds 200,000/400,000, 400,000 ante

Yang Wang raised to 1,200,000 from the small blind and Stephen Chidwick three-bet to 3,600,000. Wang made the call to see a flop.
After the 9?3?J? flop, Chidwick moved all in for his stack of 5,475,000, and Wang quickly made the call.
Stephen Chidwick: A?Q?10?5?
Yang Wang: A?J?9?4?
Wang was in front with his top two pair, but the board ran out Q?Q? to give Chidwick the double up with his trip queens, and take a slight chip lead.
