Chidwick Hero-Calls to Double Up Predaroli
Level 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Alessandro Predaroli raised to 40,000 in the cutoff . Stephen Chidwick looked down at his cards in the big blind, opting to defend.
Predaroli continued for 40,000 on the K♦10♠Q♠ flop, which Chidwick check-called. The 2♠ turn saw Predaroli size up to 100,000. Chidwick check-called again, revealing the 6♣ river.
Chidwick checked for a third time. Predaroli moved his remaining stack of 300,000 over the line for an all-in bet.
Chidwick spent about a minute in thought before calling off, but his Q♣J♥ for one pair was no match for the flush of Predaroli, who tabled K♠J♠ for the winning hand.
