Chip Leaders Clash in Interesting Hand
As we arrived over on Table 6, there was already lots of action underway and three players involved.
Stephen Chidwick was in the hijack seat and had apparently opened with a raise. Christoph Vogelsang was in the cutoff seat and had three-bet. Leon Tsoukernik was in the small blind and cold-called. Then, Chidwick four-bet to 100,000. Vogelsang tanked for a bit before he made the call, and then Tsoukernik instantly called to leave himself with just 80,000 behind.
The flop came 
, and Tsoukernik checked. Chidwick sat motionless, except for his middle finger that made a tapping motion to indicate he as well was checking. Vogelsang confirmed how much Tsoukernik had (exactly 80,000), and then bet 39,000. Tsoukernik folded his hand, and Chidwick made the call.
The 
fell on the turn, and Chidwick, still not moving much at all, checked again. Vogelsang bet a modest 115,000, and Chidwick folded after just a little bit of thought.
