Cates Leaves Himself Short

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Stephen Chidwick raised to 75,000 in early position. Dan Cates called in middle position, and Jason Mercier did so on the button.

The three players checked through the 97J flop before Chidwick bet 75,000 on the 8 turn. Cates called, but Mercier got out of the way.

Chidwick checked the 6 river over to Cates, who bet 250,000, about two-thirds of his stack. Chidwick quickly put in the rest, and Cates made a frustrated fold as he was left with just over three big blinds for the new level.

Gerritse Takes From Foxen

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

Alex Foxen raised from the hijack to 100,000, and only Dirk Gerritse called in the big blind.

Gerritse then took the initiative on the 8 turn, leading out for 85,000, which Foxen called.

The river 3 didn't slow Gerritse down, betting 120,000. Foxen took a moment but ultimately folded.

Chidwick Continuing to Build

Level 17 : Blinds 20,000/40,000, 40,000 ante

After a Christopher Frank raise to 50,000 from under the gun, Allan Le re-raised to 120,000 from middle position, and Stephen Chidwick called from the hijack. Frank folded.

The flop came Q82, and Le check-called the 170,000 chip bet from Chidwick.

On the 4 turn, Le check-called again this time for 655,000.

The river came the 2 and both players checked.

Stephen Chidwick tabled AQ87, which was good enough to scoop.
