Nice Try, but Chidwick Sticks

[user46298]

This hand actually reported by James Akenhead, tablemate of at least three other experienced, aggressive young players... While his stack has remained pretty level, there's been a dent to the tune of around 50% to Albert Iversen's chips after he got to the river on a {Q-?} {6-?} {6-?} {6-?} {5-?} board. At this point, Stephen Chidwick, holding {K-?} {Q-?} , raised Iversen's river bet of 1,000 to 2,500, only to find him putting in another 5,000 on top. He opted for the flat-call, discretion being the better part of valour in a situation where early on sixes full of queens could have been in trouble. He was rewarded with the {3-Diamonds} {4-Diamonds} being tossed into the muck.

That table, promising action, in full:
