Chidwick Finishes Off Okamura

Level 11 : Blinds 2,000/5,000, 5,000 ante
Motoyoshi Okamura
Motoyoshi Okamura

Teun Mulder opened to 10,000 from under the gun before Motoyoshi Okamura moved all in for 23,000 on his direct left. Stephen Chidwick then jammed for 67,000 from the button and Mulder folded.

Motoyoshi Okamura: {q-Spades}{10-Hearts}
Stephen Chidwick: {k-Clubs}{q-Diamonds}

Neither player connected on the {j-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{3-Hearts}{2-Hearts} runout but Chidwick's king-high was good enough to claim the pot and seal the elimination.

Hall Caught Speeding

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Galen Hall raised to 12,000 from under the gun and picked up two callers in Steve O'Dwyer and Jean-Noel Thorel.

Thorel checked in the big blind and Hall did the same on the {j-Clubs}{7-Clubs}{3-Hearts} flop. O'Dwyer bet 11,000 from the button and only Hall stuck around.

The {5-Clubs} turn checked through to the {k-Clubs} river. Hall decided to lead for 33,000 and after some decision time, O'Dwyer called.

Hall had {a-Diamonds}{10-Diamonds} for a failed bluff while O'Dwyer made the call with his {k-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds}, which was good for two pair, kings and fives.

Up and Down for O'Dwyer

Level 12 : Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante

Steve O'Dwyer raised to 12,000 under the gun and was called by Jean-Noel Thorel in the cutoff and Justin Saliba in the big blind. The flop came {a-Clubs}{10-Spades}{3-Spades} and O'Dwyer continued with a bet of 12,000 which only Thorel called.

On the {3-Diamonds} turn, O'Dwyer checked to Thorel who threw in a bet of 30,000. O'Dwyer check-raised all in and Thorel gave it some thought but opted to fold.

On the next hand, Sam Greenwood pushed all in for 59,000 from under the gun and O'Dwyer called it off in the big blind. Greenwood tabled {a-Diamonds}{10-Clubs} and was up against the {k-Hearts}{q-Diamonds} of O'Dwyer. The board ran out {a-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{5-Spades} and Greenwood doubled with hardly any sweat.

Chidwick Finds a Double

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Sirzat Hissou opened to 16,000 from under the gun and Stephen Chidwick shipped all in for 89,000 in the big blind. Hissou asked for a count and then made the call.

Stephen Chidwick: {a-Clubs}{q-Hearts}
Sirzat Hissou: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The flop of {q-Diamonds}{5-Spades}{3-Clubs} put Chidwick way out front with a pair of queens. The {7-Spades} on the turn meant Hissou was already drawing dead to the {10-Clubs} on the river.
