Ausmus Dispatches Chidwick

Brett Slezak

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened the hijack to 200,000 before Jeremy Ausmus three-bet to 725,000 from the small blind. Chidwick wasted little time before he announced all-in for just over 1,600,000, and Ausmus called.

Stephen Chidwick: A♦J♦ All in
Jeremy Ausmus: K♥Q♥

Chidwick was the slight favorite to double until the Q♦5♠5♣ flop vaulted Ausmus into the lead. Chidwick could not find any help on the 3♥3♣ runout as he wished his opponents farewell on his way to the exit.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel made it 200,000 from the hijack and Jonathan Jaffe called from the big blind.

Jaffe check-called a bet of 100,000 from Kabrhel on the 6♥2♣K♦ flop.

The turn came the 4♠, and Jaffe check-called another bet from Kabrhel, this time for 285,000.

After Jaffe checked the J♦ river, Kabrhel jammed for Jaffe's remaining 1,525,000. Jaffe thought for about ten seconds, and then made the call for his tournament life.

Kabrhel showed a total bluff with Q♣7♣. Jaffe revealed K♥8♥ for a pair of kings to earn the double-up.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Alexandros Theologis opened to 200,000 on the button and Chris Brewer called from the big blind. The flop came A♦J♣4♦ and Brewer check-called a bet of 275,000 from Theologis.

The turn was the J♥ and Brewer led out with a bet of 450,000. Theologis called and the 7♠ completed the board. Brewer checked this time and Theologis shoved all in, prompting a quick fold from Brewer.

On the next hand, Alex Foxen raised to 210,000 in early position and Theologis reraised to 630,000 in the cutoff. Foxen just called and the dealer fanned the flop of 9♠5♥3♥.

Foxen checked to Theologis who continued with a bet of 380,000 and Foxen called. The Q♥ landed on the turn and both players checked to the 10♣ on the river. Foxen led out with a bet of 760,000 and Theologis used three time banks before letting his hand go.

Level 14 : Blinds 50,000/100,000, 100,000 ante

Martin Kabrhel limped under the gun, Bryn Kenney raised to 320,000 from the hijack, and Phil Ivey called in the big blind.

Kabrhel inquired about the size of Kenney's stack, "You start with six [million]? Six and half?"

Kenney was emotionless as he replied, "Not sure...you can see it," as Kabrhel called.

On the J♦9♠7♣ flop, Kabrhel led for 200,000 and both opponents called.

The turn brought the J♣. Kabrhel announced another bet of 445,000 and only Kenney called.

On the 2♣ river, Kabrhel fired for 1,150,000, and Kenney laid it down after a small tank.
