Kulev Takes a Big Chunk From Chidwick
Level 5
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
There was a raise to 11,000 from middle position and Alex Kulev made the call from the cutoff before Stephen Chidwick squeezed to 51,000 from the big blind. The middle position player folded and Kulev called.
On the A?2?J? flop, Chidwick continued with a bet of 64,000, which was called by Kulev.
The turn brought a 9? and Chidwick kept up the aggression with a bet of 130,000. Kulev, undeterred by the strength shown from Chidwick, made the call.
A Q? completed the board and Chidwick slowed down witih a check, only for Kulev to shove all in. Chidwick had around 115,000 chips behind and after using three time-extension chips, he elected to fold.
