Battle of the Blinds

We caught up to David Chiu's table just in time to see him making it 325 to see a flop from the small blind. The big blind was the only player left in the hand and he opted to make the call.

The multiple bracelet winner Chiu threw out a 500 bet after seeing a {6-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{9-Diamonds} flop. His opponent slowly made the call and both players were off to the turn. With the {A-Spades} on fourth street Chiu continued his aggressive pace and placed another bet, this time 1,200. The big blind again took his time before eventually making the call.

A {Q-Spades} river changed nothing and we found Chiu firing out 2,500. The big blind then went into the tank for about a minute before making the call. Cards were then tabled, and Chiu with a look of mild disgust exposed {J-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} for jack high and a missed flush draw. The opponent flipped over {5-Hearts}{5-Spades} for the winning hand.

Chiu now has a little over half his starting stack and is going to have to get some chips if he hopes to grab bracelet number 5.
