Sturm Assumes Position
Level 1
: Blinds 500/1,000, 0 ante
Leon Sturm opened to 2,500 in the hijack and Stephen Chidwick defended in the big blind, leading his young German opponent to assume fighting position by lowering his mirrored sunglasses and raising his tie-die neck gaiter.
Chidwick checked on the flop of 4♠J♣5♥ and Sturm continued for 3,500. Chidwick called. Both players then checked on the 2♦ turn.
Chidwick led out for 3,500 on the Q♥ river and Sturm laid it down.
