First Flop of the Final Sends Chidwick Down to Six Big Blinds
Stephen Chidwick (button) and Christoph Vogelsang (small blind), saw a flop of [5s2dKh], both with aces in the hole, Chidwick with [Ah6c] and Vogelsang with [AdJh]. Vogelsang check-called a bet of 40,000 here, then 90,000 on the crucial [As] turn. On the [7h] river, Vogelsang check-called a third time for 200,000 (more than half Chidwick’s remaining stack), knocking the British superpro down to six big blinds.
