Chidwick Takes from Lonis

Frank Visser

Level 7 : Blinds 2,000/4,000, 4,000 ante

In a pot of more than 100,000 chips, Jesse Lonis bet 55,000 from middle position on a flop of 10♦2♦9♠. Stephen Chidwick called in the cutoff before both checked the 7♣ turn.

The A♣ river was also knuckled and Lonis tabled A♥K♦4♥4♣ for a pair of aces. Chidwick played A♦K♣J♥9♥ for two pair, however, and took down the pot.
