Chiu Gives Up a Chunk

Joseph Ressler raised to 52,000 from the hijack before the flop and found two other callers in the form of David Chiu from the cutoff, as well as Hans Winzeler from the small blind before Steven Merrifield raised it from the big blind, making it another 140,000 to go.

Chiu was the only caller, but then Merrifield and Chiu checked down both the flop of {K-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and the turn of the {4-Diamonds} before Merrifield fired out a bet on the river {A-Diamonds}. Chiu quickly folded and Merrfield was only too happy to show his {K-Hearts}{K-Diamonds}{J-Diamonds}{9-Hearts} for the nizzles.
