Bongard Bets Out Chidwick

Samuel Bongard opened with an under-the-gun raise only to have Stephen Chidwick three-bet the action to 1,500 from the next seat over. Action folded to Sergio Aido in the big blind and he flatted the three-bet. Bongard opted not to call, but rather to cut out a four-bet to 4,125. Chidwick called and Aido came along for the ride as well.

The trio saw a flop hit the felt. Aido checked to the raiser and Bongard continued out for 5,600. Chidwick called, Aido folded, and the two were left heads up to fourth street. The dealer produced the on the turn and Bongard bet 9,000. Chidwick thought for about a minute before deciding to release his cards. Bongard was awarded the pot and the live satellite winner now sits with about 64,000.
