Berg Coolers Chidwick
Level 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick opened to 30,000 from middle position and was called by Eli Berg on the button as well as Andrey Kotelnikov in the big blind.
Kotelnikov checked following the 4♥8♦3♦ flop and Chidwick continued for 75,000. Berg responded with a raise to 200,000 which elicited a quick fold from Kotelnikov. Chidwick, on the other hand, responded by moving all in with Berg calling off for his tournament life.
Eli Berg: K♦K♥
Stephen Chidwick: Q♥Q♣
Berg had picked up the better overpair to leave Chidwick drawing thin. The K♣ turn ended any hopes of a miracle comeback with the J♠ river rendered a mere formality as Berg scored a late double up.
