Chidwick Puts Pressure On Merk
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/1,500, 1,500 ante
After he eliminated Daniel Singer for his last 27,500 chips (Q?Q? > A?J? on K?8?8?K?2?), Stephen Chidwick defended from the big blind against Abby Merk who opened to 3,500 in the cutoff.
On K?7?A?, she continued to 2,500, and Chidwick called. But when she fired a second barrel of 7,000 on the turn Q?, Chidwick raised to 28,000.
Surrounded by players and floors waiting for the table to break, Merk took a minute before calling.
The 4? came on the river, and Chidwick bet approximately 100,000, more than Merk's stack. She went in the tank for a minute, counting again and again her stack, and she eventually folded.
