Zhou Gets Paid by Chidwick in Massive Pot

David Salituro

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick bet 30,000 from the cutoff on a flop of K♠8♠9♦ and Quan Zhou called in the big blind.

The turn was the 2♠ and Zhou, impeccably dressed in a black suit and sunglasses, led out for 40,000. Chidwick called and the 3♣ fell on the river.

Zhou checked and Chidwick bet 130,000. Zhou then moved all in for around 300,000 and Chidwick tanked for several minutes before calling. Zhou turned over Q♠5♠ for a turned flush and Chidwick mucked his cards as Zhou scooped the massive pot.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

The action folded to Joakim Andersson on the button. He open-jammed, covering both Rayan Chamas in the small blind and Joao Vieira in the big blind.

Chamas then made the call for his stack of 56,000, after which Vieira asked for a count. Once he received it, he made the call as well, putting his own stack of 66,000 at risk but having a shot at taking Chamas' bounty chip.

Rayan Chamas: A♠J♠
Joao Vieira: 6♦4♦
Joakim Andersson: 7♣7♦

Vieira flopped a pair on 9♦3♣6♥, but could not improve further on the 10♣2♥ runout. Chamas was left with ace-high, which meant that Andersson's sevens held on and scooped the pot alongside two bounty tokens.

Stephen Chidwick: A♣10♥
Daniel Rezaei: A♦8♦

O'Dwyer took the lead on the J♣6♦3♠ flop, while the K♣ turn gave Chidwick a straight draw. The Q♠ river completed Chidwick's Broadway straight and he sent O'Dwyer to the rail while also doubling up off Rezaei.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Mike Watson raised to 18,000 in early position before Dan Djorno moved all in for 91,000 in the small blind. Artur Martirosian reshoved in the big blind and Watson folded.

Dan Djorno: A♥9♥
Artur Martirosian: A♠K♥

Djorno was dominated by Martirosian as the 5♠4♠7♥6♣10♣ board providing no relief, sending him to the rail and his white bounty chip over to Martirosian.

At the same time at another table, Alex Kulev was all in for 95,000 in the small blind, Aleksejs Ponakovs had his 156,000 in the middle from the cutoff, and Boris Kolev had both players covered and at risk in the hijack.

Alex Kulev: 7♥6♥
Aleksejs Ponakovs: A♦J♣
Boris Kolev: A♥9♠

Ponakovs hit top pair on the J♦4♣2♦ flop to take a big lead in the hand, while the 2♠ turn improved him to two pair. The river was the A♠ and Ponakovs doubled up off Kolev while claiming Kulev's bounty.

Level 13 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Aurelien Russo raised to 16,000 on the button before Nikita Kuznetsov jammed all in for 124,000 from the small blind.

After some thinking time, Russo made the call to put his neighbor at risk.

Nikita Kuznetsov: A♦8♠
Aurelien Russo: K♠10♠

It was looking bleak for Russo on the 5♠A♣6♥ flop, but the K♥ turn brought him some outs. A second king appeared on the K♣ river, upgrading him Russo to trips and eliminating Kuznetsov.
