Stephen Chidwick bet 42,000 on the turn on a 
community, and Serkan Kurnaz made the call on the button. On the 
river, Chidwick pushed all in for about 100,000, and Kurnaz snapped it off. Chidwick turned over 
for a missed combo draw, but he had far less outs than he may have hoped since Kurnaz held for a turned boat.
