No Resistance for Chidwick on the Turn

Tyler Foran

Level 13 : Blinds 8,000/16,000, 16,000 ante

Sam Greenwood opened 36,000 under the gun, and Stephen Chidwick played for more from the cutoff, three-betting to 115,000. The action quickly folded back to Greenwood and he made the call.

The 6♦5♦3♣ flop received checks from both players, and when the Q♥ hit the turn, Greenwood checked once more. Chidwick fired a bet of 200,000 across the line, and Greenwood's cards instantly flung into the muck.

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

Duco ten Haven opened 28,000 on the button, and Aleksejs Ponakovs defended the big blind.

The dealer spread a flop of 10♠9♦4♣, and Ponakovs check-raised a bet of 20,000 to 60,000. Ten Haven responded with a three-bet to 130,000, putting Ponakovs in the tank. After a minute, he made the call.

The 7♠ fell on the turn, and Ponakovs checked before Ten Haven dropped a stack of greens across the line for a bet of 500,000. Ponakovs snap-called his remaining 301,000 and both hands were tabled.

Aleksejs Ponakovs: J♥8♠
Duca Ten Haven: K♥10♦

Ponakovs turned a straight, leaving Ten Haven drawing dead and the A♠ river was just a formality.
