Nice Try, but Chidwick Sticks

This hand actually reported by James Akenhead, tablemate of at least three other experienced, aggressive young players... While his stack has remained pretty level, there's been a dent to the tune of around 50% to Albert Iversen's chips after he got to the river on a {Q-?}

board. At this point, Stephen Chidwick, holding {K-?}

, raised Iversen's river bet of 1,000 to 2,500, only to find him putting in another 5,000 on top. He opted for the flat-call, discretion being the better part of valour in a situation where early on sixes full of queens could have been in trouble. He was rewarded with the {3-Diamonds}

being tossed into the muck.

That table, promising action, in full:

Albert Iversen
Jason Somerville
Andrew Teng
Mazhar Nawab
Stephen Chidwick
James Akenhead
David Steicke
Mike 'Timex' McDonald
