Chidwick in the Lead After Clash with Holskyi
Level 3
: 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
With two players seeing a board of 8♣7♠5♣ and just under 10,000 in the middle, Konstantyn Holskyi bet 10,000 from the small blind and Stephen Chidwick called from the big blind.
Holskyi fired a second barrel for 20,000 on the 10♦ turn. Chidwick raised to 55,000 and Holskyi made the call.
On the J♦ river Holskyi checked and Chidwick bet 150,000. Holskyi used a single time extension before opting to call.
Chidwick turned over a straight with J♣9♠ to take down a massive early pot at Holskyi's expense.
