Chidwick Puts Sturm to the Test
Level 5
: Blinds 1,500/3,000, 0 ante
Leon Sturm opened the action with a raise from under the gun and Stephen Chidwick defended in the big blind.
The flop came Q♥4♣Q♣ and Chidwick check-raised to 10,500 over Sturm's continuation-bet of 3,500. Sturm made the call.
The turn fell the 2♥ and Chidwick showed no signs of slowing down, tossing out a bet of 25,000. Sturm called once more.
On the 8♥ river, Chidwick bet enough to put Sturm all in who had just under 100,000 behind. Sturm took some time to think through his decision, ultimately arriving at a fold.
