Chidwick Off to a Roaring Start
Chidwick had [7s6d5c3c] and just called Wolff’s bet pre-flop of just over 40,000 with [AsAcJc6s].
The flop of [8h7dJd] saw Wolff bet 35,000 and again, Chidwick called.
The turn of [2s] saw Wolff check, and Chidwick followed suit.
The river [8d] saw Wolff check again, but Chidwick felt that he had to fire a bluff and bet 180,000 with almost no showdown value. Could Wolff hero call again and scoop the first pot of heads-up? No!
Chidwick’s bluff gets through and instead, its the British player off to a great kick-off to the heads-up confrontation.
