Chidwick Puts Barbero to the Test
Level 3
: Blinds 1,000/3,000, 3,000 ante
Nacho Barbero opened the action with a raise to 7,000 from the cutoff and Stephen Chidwick was the only caller, from the small blind. The flop fell A♠9♦8♦ and Barbero made a continuation-bet of 8,000 once Chidwick had checked. Chidwick then called, and did so too for Barbero's 24,000 bet on the 3♦ turn.
The 10♥ river saw Chidwick check for a third time, after which Barbero made a pot-sized bet of 81,000. Chidwick took some time before putting all of his large-denomination chips in the middle, effectively putting Barbero all in. However, Barbero folded rather quickly, leaving around 250 big blinds for the Argentinian to play with.
