Chidwick Leads; Chidwick Wins

Dan O'Hair

Level 5 : Blinds 300/600, 600 ante

Stephen Chidwick raised to 1,300 from early position and was three-bet to 4,200 by Grant Wang on the button. Action folded back to Chidwick, who called.

The flop came 7♦9♠6♦ and Chidwick announced a bet of 2,500. Wang wanted nothing to do with it and let his hand go — awarding the pot to Chidwick, who has breached the six-figure mark with a stack of 102,000.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Tetsuya Tsujisaka raised to 1,000 from under the gun and was called by Dakota Baggett in middle position, Artur Martirosian on the button, and Tim Reilly in the big blind.

Reilly checked to Tsujisaka on the 9♥K♥7♦ flop and he continued for 1,000. Baggett called and Martirosian squeezed to 5,000. Reilly and Tsujisaka quickly folded, but Baggett shoved to put Martirosian in for approximately 20,000 total.

Martirosian quickly called to put himself at risk and hands were revealed.

Artur Martirosian: Q♥J♥ All in
Dakota Baggett: K♠Q♦

Baggett held the lead with his pair of kings, but he would need to fade both straight and flush draws to eliminate Martirosian.

The A♠2♣ runout bricked out and Baggett was sent the rest of Martirosian's chips.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

John Hennigan raised under the gun to 1,000, which garnered calls from Nick Schulman on the button and Gustavo Barbero in the small blind.

All three players checked the Q♠K♥4♦ flop, which gave Hennigan the green light to put out a bet of 1,000 on the 3♣ turn. Both Schulman and Barbero called, and the three went to a river.

Action checked to Schulman on the 9♥ river, who moved all in for 7,900. Both his opponents folded, and he scooped in the pot without having to show his hand.

All Four Kings Accounted For

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

There was an early position raise to 1,200, and a middle position call before Niklas Astedt three-bet to 5,100 from the button. Chin Wei Lim then elected to cold four-bet from the small blind to 14,500, and when action folded back to Astedt, he called.

Lim continued for 8,000 on the 4♠3♣9♥ flop, and Astedt called again.

The dealer provided the 8♠ turn, and Lim had no thoughts of slowing down. He placed another wager, this time for a more substantial 22,000. Undeterred, Astedt called to see a river card.

The river 7♠ gave both players pause for thought. Lim counted his stack, had a look at his opponent and then chose to check. Astedt went through a similar routine with his stack before electing to check back.

Lim flipped over K♠K♥, which was not enough to win the pot outright, as Astedt revealed he had the other two kings, rolling over K♦K♣.

Lim and Astedt shared a chuckle as the dealer apportioned the pot between the two players.

Level 4 : Blinds 300/500, 500 ante

Action folded around to the blinds, where Wen Lyu raised to 1,300 from the small blind and Jake Schwartz defended his big blind.

Schwartz called a 1,300 bet from Lyu on the 7♠A♠K♠ flop and then both players checked on the 9♣ turn.

The A♦ completed the board and Lyu pulled a single t-5,000 chip from his stack and looked like he wanted to bet, but then checked. Schwartz gave a puzzled look and then checked behind.

Lyu revealed J♠7♣ for a aces and sevens and Schwartz sent his hand into the muck.
