Chidwick Forces the Issue

There was a pile of chips in the middle of the table, a pot of around 18,000, and fighting over it were Stephen Chidwick and Artem Litvinov. The two fearless players were looking at a board that had reached the turn showing . It seemed to be a matter of who would blink first.

Litvinov was first to act and thought it over before he elected to check. Chidwick seized the moment and moved all in, just under a pot sized bet. Litvinov had a last look back at his cards before tossing them to the dealer and contemplating his reduced stack.
