Shortly before the end of level 30, with the blinds at 80K/160K, Charles Bidwell got a timely double to bring his chip stack up to well beyond average.
Bidwell opened the action to 340K from early position and picked up a call from Pierre Andre Prevost on the button. Jason Mandanici-Turcot, who had both opponents covered, then moved all in from the small blind. Bidwell called off his stack without hesitation, and Prevost got out of the way.

By the time the dealer finished counting Bidwell’s stack, it was more than any of the players at the table anticipated, slightly more than 3.7M. With that double up, Bidwell is now sitting comfortably with over 35 big blinds.
