Second Barrel Wins it for Chidwick

Level 19

NLH

Stephen Chidwick picked up {A-Clubs}{5-Clubs} in the small blind with just under 40 big blinds to maneuver. He raised to 225,000 and big blind Chris Vitch called with {3-Hearts}{3-Clubs}.

Chidwick continued with a small bet, firing 125,000 on the {K-Clubs}{9-Diamonds}{9-Clubs} flop. Vitch called again.

The {6-Hearts} turn missed Chidwick's out but he bet another 425,000. Vitch was in a tough position with his small pair and refused to continue calling down. He let this hand go and allowed Chidwick to nearly tie him in chips.

Haxton Hits Backdoor Low for a Chop

Level 19

Omaha 8

Isaac Haxton raised the small blind with {Q-Spades}{J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Hearts} and Stephen Chidwick peeled a double-suited but one-way {A-Clubs}{K-Spades}{J-Spades}{9-Clubs}. He called in position.

The {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}{3-Clubs} flop brought a top pair and a nut-flush draw for Chidwick who bet after Haxton checked to him. Haxton had just a queen but called to see the {6-Hearts} hit the turn.

Chidwick again fired and Haxton opted for a check-call again, now with a chance to hit a low. He indeed completed his low on the {2-Diamonds} river and claimed a half of the pot when Chidwick checked back.

Haxton Saves One Bet With a Correct Laydown

Level 19

2-7 Triple Draw

Isaac Haxton looked down at {9-}{7-}{4-}{3-}{2-} on the button and raised it up. Stephen Chidwick had {K-}{8-}{6-}{3-}{2-} in the small blind, three-betting. Haxton called and Chidwick took one. Haxton decided to break his nine and took one, drawing for the wheel.

Both players drew high cards and Chidwick continued betting, earning a call from Haxton. They both drew an ace on the second draw and the action slowed down as Chidwick and Haxton both checked.

Chidwick picked up a five to hit his eighty-six on the last draw while Haxton made ten-low. Chidwick checked to his opponent who went for value. Chidwick, however, woke up with a check-raise which wasn't a good news for Haxton. The American pro still managed to convince himself to fold the ten-seven, correctly saving 240,000.
