Chidwick Shoves On Tollerene

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

After a pretty slow start to the level, the first big hand to take place happened between Stephen Chidwick and Ben Tollerene.

Tollerene opened the action with a raise to 475 from under the gun and Chidwick made the call from the big blind to take play heads-up to a {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop.

Tollerene continuation bet 350 after a Chidwick check, only to see Chidwick check raise to 900. Tollerene thought it over but did make the call bringing the action to the {3-Diamonds} turn.

Now with the initiative, Chidwick led out for 2,200 and Tollerene called to bring in the {5-Hearts} river.

Chidwick nearly burned through the allotted 30-seconds before moving all in and while he did not look too thrilled about it Tollerene made the fold.

No Turns

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

There seems to be a ban on turns as of late, since no hand has gone past the river. It's small pots for now.

Chidwick and Carrel Tangle, Still No Turn

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The players are taking it slow at the moment, probably waiting for some of those late entries. We overheard Holz say he is planning on playing but will probably leave it until the last minute to enter.

There have been a few walks and the rest of the pots have either been taken down preflop or on the flop.

The first hand that bucked this trend came when Sam Greenwood opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 500 with Charlie Carrel calling from the button before Stephen Chidwick re-raised to 2,200 from the small blind.

Ben Tollerene folded the big blind and Greenwood also gave it up but Carrel opted to make the call to take play heads-up to a flop of {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Chidwick checked it over to Carrel, who decided the right amount to bet was 2,200, which was enough to get Chidwick to give it up.

Chidwick Doubles Through Greenwood

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Stephen Chidwick raised to 500 from the button and big blind Sam Greenwood called.

Greenwood check-called a bet of 400 on {8-Diamonds}{K-Clubs}{9-Spades} before checking again once the {5-Diamonds} hit the turn. Chidwick bet 800 and Greenwood check-raised to 2,600. Chidwick called in position.

The {J-Hearts} completed the board and Greenwood took about 25 seconds before shoving all in. Chidwick, with 5,400 left, looked at his options and eventually called.

Greenwood showed {6-Diamonds}{6-Clubs} in defeat, the pot went to Chidwick who showed {K-Diamonds}{9-Hearts}.

Greenwood Shoves on Tollerene, Short Break

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Charlie Carrel took down a small pot preflop after three-betting from the small blind over the top of a Sam Greenwood open and then there were a couple of walks before there was a blind on blind battle between Ben Tollerene and Sam Greenwood.

Ben Tollerene completed the small blind before Sam Greenwood bumped it up to 1,000 from the big blind, which Tollerene called.

Both players checked the {7-Hearts}{3-Hearts}{4-Clubs} flop with Tollerene leading the {k-Clubs} turn for 700. Greenwood raised to 2,300 and Tollerene quickly folded.

Players have just taken a short break for some food so the clock is now paused. Watch this space and we will let you know when the action resumes.

Tollerene Wins Some

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Ben Tollerene opened the button for 700 and Charlie Carrel in the big blind ended up his only caller. Carrel check-called a bet of 800 on {9-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{10-Diamonds} before both players checked the {3-Clubs} on the turn. Carrel checked again on the {5-Clubs} river and Tollerene answered with a bet of 2,200. Carrel tanked for a bit, tossed in a time breaker chip, and eventually called. Tollerene showed {Q-Spades}{9-Spades} for second pair and Carrel mucked.

Chidwick and Carrel Win Some From Tollerene

Level 5 : 150/300, 50 ante

Ben Tollerene made it 700 to go from under the gun and Stephen Chidwick called from the big blind.

Chidwick checked the {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{8-Hearts} flop over to Tollerene, who bet 600. Chidwick called and the turn came {10-Diamonds}.

This brought checks from both players, as did the {5-Diamonds} river. Tollerene showed {j-Clubs}{9-Spades} for a pair of nines but this was not enough to beat Chidwick's {a-Hearts}{6-Clubs}.

Charlie Carrel three-bet Sam Greenwood to 2,200 after Greenwood opened for 750 but folded to a shove. Carrel then got a walk the next hand.

Ben Tollerene opened the button to 700 the next hand and Carrel called from the big blind, checking the monochrome {2-Spades}{7-Spades}{8-Spades} flop over to Tollerene, who bet 900. Carrel called and the turn came down {q-Spades}.

Both players checked and then checked again on the {q-Diamonds} river. Tollerene turned over {7-}{9-} for two pairs - sevens and queens - but this was not enough to beat Carrel's {j-Spades}{7-Diamonds}.
