Tice Takes From Chidwick; Kono Bests Puustinen
Level 17
: 1,000/2,500, 0 ante
Landon Tice bet 35,000 on a board of 3?9?4?Q? and Stephen Chidwick called in the big blind.
The river came the 6? and Chidwick checked once more. Tice now checked behind and took down the pot with 9?3? for two pair.
At the same time on another table, Reiji Kono was knocking out Henri Puustinen when he made two pair with Q?4? on a board of Q?10?5?A?4?.
Kono, who is being followed by a contingent of Japanese media who are filming his every move, stopped to take a picture of the board before racking up his chips for the next round.
