Vitch Cracks Chidwick's Kings After Flopping Trips

Level 18

Limit Hold'em

Chris Vitch raised the button with {10-Diamonds}{6-Diamonds} and Ike Haxton called with {Q-Spades}{9-Diamonds}. Stephen Chidwick peeled {K-Diamonds}{K-Hearts} in the big blind. He three-bet and both of his opponents accepted the price, taking a shot at the flop.

The {10-Spades}{10-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} brought trouble for Chidwick as Vitch suddenly had him beat. Chidwick continued and Vitch just called, inviting Haxton to pay one more bet as well.

All three players went to the {5-Diamonds} turn where Chidwick barreled. Vitch raised this time, forcing out Haxton but Chidwick matched the bid. The river was the {9-Spades} and Chidwick checked to Vitch who put in the final bet. Chidwick knew he had to call but the expression on his face was clear; he suspected the problems and the feeling was, unfortunately for him, correct.
