Tedeschi Sends Chidwick to the Rail

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante
Stephen Chidwick
Stephen Chidwick

Stephen Chidwick raised it up from the hijack and Paul Tedeschi stuck in a three-bet on the button. The blinds folded and Chidwick called to see a flop of {a-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{7-Spades}. Chidwick checked to Tedeschi who bet 6,400 and Chidwick called.

The turn was the {4-Hearts} and both players checked to the {8-Diamonds} on the river. Chidwick checked again and Tedeschi announced all in, putting Chidwick to the test for his last 34,500 chips. Chidwick used up two of his tim extensions before making the call.

Tedeschi turned over {a-Hearts}{k-Hearts} and his kicker was good enough to defeat Chidwick's {a-Clubs}{6-Clubs} and send him to the rail.

Calamusa Four-Bet Rips

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Pierre Calamusa saw action fold to him in the cutoff and opened to 2,400. Alexander Ivarsson three-bet him to 7,200 from the small blind and Calamusa thought for no more than a handful of seconds before piling his remaining chips into the middle.

Ivarsson thought for about 15 seconds and then folded, inquiring about what Calamusa could have had, and both players claimed to have had an ace in the hand when all was said and done.

Kempe Finds a Chop on the River

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Rainer Kempe raised it up to 2,600 on the button and the big blind called. The flop came {5-Spades}{5-Clubs}{3-Clubs} and the big blind checked to Kempe who continued for 2,700. The big blind check-raised to 8,200 and Kempe clicked it back for 13,700. His opponent just called and the {j-Spades} landed on the turn.

The big blind checked again and Kempe made a bet of 25,000. His opponent moved all in for not much more and Kempe called. The big blind tabled {a-Spades}{3-Spades} for two pair and a flush draw while Kempe held {a-Clubs}{10-Clubs} for a different flush draw. The {j-Diamonds} double-paired the board on the river and the two players chopped the pot with each holding an ace in their hand.

Yurasov Turns Speranza to the Door

Level 9 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Dario Sammartino opened to 2,600 in middle position and Dmitry Yurasov flat-called on his left. Gianluca Speranza shoved all in for 27,100 in the blinds which got Sammartino to fold but Yurasov quickly called.

Dmitry Yurasov: {a-Clubs}{q-Clubs}
Gianluca Speranza: {k-Diamonds}{q-Spades}

Yurasov was in a dominating position but the flop of {k-Spades}{9-Hearts}{8-Hearts} gave Speranza the lead. However, the {a-Diamonds} on the turn put Yurasov back out front and the {3-Spades} on the river eliminated Speranza.
