Chidwick Puts Pressure On Merk
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
After he eliminated Daniel Singer for his last 27,500 chips (Q♣Q♥ > A♠J♥ on K♠8♣8♦K♥2♠), Stephen Chidwick defended from the big blind against Abby Merk who opened to 3,500 in the cutoff.
On K♠7♣A♠, she continued to 2,500, and Chidwick called. But when she fired a second barrel of 7,000 on the turn Q♥, Chidwick raised to 28,000.
Surrounded by players and floors waiting for the table to break, Merk took a minute before calling.
The 4♦ came on the river, and Chidwick bet approximately 100,000, more than Merk's stack. She went in the tank for a minute, counting again and again her stack, and she eventually folded.
