Hands #73-77: Negreanu Doesn't Bluff the River

Level 21 : 20,000/40,000, 30,000 ante

Hand #73: Keith Tilston started a battle of the blinds with a raise to 150,000 with {K-Clubs}{Q-Hearts}. Stephen Chidwick defended {8-Spades}{4-Spades} and they continued to the {8-Diamonds}{6-Hearts}{7-Diamonds} flop. Tilston bet 110,000 but Chidwick bumped the price to 350,000. Tilston had no connection to the board and let his hand go.

Hand #74: Tilston made it 90,000 on the button with {J-Clubs}{10-Hearts} and that was enough to seize the pot.

Hand #75: Daniel Negreanu was in the small blind, limping in with {9-Clubs}{5-Clubs}. Tilston checked with {8-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}. The {K-Hearts}{10-Clubs}{J-Hearts} flop was checked but Negreanu valued the {8-Spades} turn at 40,000. Tilston laid his bottom pair down.

Hand #76: Negreanu opened to 90,000 with {10-Diamonds}{5-Diamonds} and Chidwick defended {J-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}. The flop and turn of the {K-Spades}{4-Hearts}{J-Hearts}{6-Spades}{10-Spades} board remained checked before Chidwick led out 115,000 on the river. Negreanu paid him off.

Hand #77: Chidwick limped in with {K-Spades}{Q-Hearts} in the small blind and Negreanu agreed to see the {9-Diamonds}{J-Hearts}{2-Diamonds} flop with his {8-Hearts}{7-Diamonds}. Chidwick let the betting action to Negreanu who fired 40,000. Chidwick called and the {6-Clubs} hit the felt on the turn. Negreanu, who improved to an open-ender, barreled with a huge overbet. He made it 350,000 to go. Chidwick called again.

The {2-Hearts} river missed both players and Chidwick checked for the third time. Negreanu didn't pull the trigger and gave up with a check back. Chidwick cemented his chip lead as the level expired.
