Chew Strikes Gold to Stay Alive
Level 9
: 500/1,000, 100 ante
A player opened in early position with a raise to 2,200. Brett Trevillian was in the cutoff and he three-bet, making it 6,000. Next to act, Bem Richardson four-bet, making it 15,500. Action folded to the big blind and Stevan Chew moved all in, five-bet shoving for 34,700. Action folded back to Trevillian who asked for a count, then folded but Richardson snap called.
Stevan Chew: 
Ben Richardson: 
The flop was safe for Richardson when it came 
, keeping his aces in the lead. But the 
spiked the turn and with that, Chew took control. The river was the 
changing nothing and so Chew earned a double to around 80,000 while Richardson was left with about 75,000.
