Chidwick Pressures Lingham

Stewart Morrison
Stewart Morrison
Level 2 : Blinds 1,500/3,000, 3,000 ante

Playing from the big blind, Stephen Chidwick checked the action to under the gun player Vinny Lingham on a 3♠A♣5♠ flop, with 23,000 already in the pot. Lingham bet 8,000, and Chidwick check-raised to 35,000, which Lingham called.

Chidwick barrelled for 80,000 on the 10♣ turn, which was enough to see Lingham cede, as he folded his hand.
