Bonomo Puts Chidwick To The Test

Cottrell van Wingerden

Level 16 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Justin Bonomo limped from the cutoff as did Joao Vieira in the small blind. Stephen Chidwick checked his option out of the big blind to generate three-way action heading to the flop.

Both blinds checked on the flop and Bonomo led out for 60,000. Vieira folded while Chidwick called to see a turn.

The turn came and Chidwick checked for a second time. Bonomo was in no mood to slow down and pushed 250,000 into the middle. Chidwick was not yet convinced and again called.

Chidwick checked one more time after the river and Bonomo moved almost all in for 395,000, leaving himself just 5,000 behind. Chidwick burned through a couple of time extensions before deciding to release his hand, sending a large pot Bonomo's direction.
