Chidwick Fails to Flush Kempe
Rainer Kempe made it 80,000 with [ThTd] and Stephen Chidwick made the call with [Js6s] in the big blind. the flop of [Qs4s2d] gave Britain’s most successful tournament player in history a flush draw, and when Kempe continued for 65,000, Chidwick raised to 155,000.
Kempe was clearly put to a big decision and took his time making it, eventually making the call.
The turn card of [Ah] didn’t complete Chidwick’s flush, leading to a check from the Kent-born professional and also the German crusher in quick succession.
The [4h] river saw two checks and Rainer Kempe won the pot, leaving Chidwick with less than 10 big blinds… but not out of contention just yet.
