Chidwick Pressures Schindler on the River

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Catching the action with the board reading {Q-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}{4-Clubs}{K-Spades}{8-Diamonds} and roughly 72,000 in the middle, Stephen Chidwick checked from the small blind over to Jake Schindler in the big.

Schindler bet out 55,000, and after some time thinking, Chidwick check-raised to 325; enough to put Schindler all in.

Schindler went deep into the tank before he eventually gave it up and folded.

Lehne Magnetizes Rest of Polk's Chips

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Doug Polk
Doug Polk

Kathy Lehne has increased her massive chip-stack yet again. She got the best of Doug Polk who had been barely afloat in the last few levels. Polk's short stack finally got the crucial hit as the action got caught up on the turn.

Polk's last 40,500 went into the middle on the turn, with the {5-Hearts}{10-Hearts}{K-Spades}{9-Hearts} on the felt. He got it in good with {5-Diamonds}{5-Spades} but he was far from having it locked up as Lehne had a plenty of outs with {Q-Hearts}{Q-Spades}. She got one of them in the {4-Hearts} river, completing a flush to eliminate the social media fan-favourite.

"He Just Doesn't Believe Does He?"

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Koray Aldemir bet 85,000 into a pot of about 70,000 from the big blind on {10-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{a-Diamonds}. Steffen Sontheimer called on the button and both players checked the {k-Diamonds}.

"Two pair," Aldemir announced.

Sontheimer rolled over {8-Diamonds}{7-Hearts} for a flush.

"He just doesn't believe, does he?" Bill Perkins said.

Kempe chimed in that Sontheimer believed that the river would change things in his favor.

"Low flush draw and a double-gutter," Perkins mused.

"A low flush draw in that spot is a good one," Sontheimer observed.

Bryn Kenney was in the big blind and bet 125,000, a pot-sized wager. The board had come {7-Hearts}{5-Spades}{6-Spades}{4-Clubs}{j-Diamonds} and Dennis Blieden was in the tank on the button. He announced a call.

"I got 'er," Kenney said, tabling {9-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} for the nuts.

"You sure do," Blieden said with a laugh.

Blieden mucked and then counted out his stack. It turned out to be exactly 125,000, so he wished everyone good luck and took his leave.

Lehne Crosses Millball

Level 6 : 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante

Kathy Lehne may be the lone female player in the field but she's fearlessly crushing his opposition on Day 1.

Lehne demonstrated her run again a few moments ago when she tangled with Dennis Blieden. Lehne made it 5,500 from the button and Blieden countered with a three-bet to 31,500 out of the small blind. Lehne called.

They went to the {8-Spades}{9-Spades}{J-Spades} flop where Blieden fired 22,000. Lehne, however, reached to her piles and raised to 47,000. Blieden instantly folded.

With the latest addition, Lehne pushed her stack over 1 million.
