Holskyi and Chidwick Catch Each Other Speeding

Calum Grant

Level 1 : Blinds 500/1,000, 1,000 ante

Stephen Chidwick opened to 2,500 from the cutoff and Konstantyn Holskyi defended his big blind. Holskyi check-raised to 10,000 over a bet of 1,500 on the A?9?2? flop, and Chidwick matched the wager. Holskyi then check-called for 18,000 on the 10? turn to swell the pot to 62,500. Holskyi checked once more and quickly called when Chidwick made an overbet of 75,000.

Chidwick tabled K?9? for a pair of nines, but his hand went into the muck after his opponent had two pair with A?2?.

The following hand, Holskyi limped in from the small blind and called when Chidwick bumped it up to 4,000 from the big blind. Holskyi check-called for 3,000 on the A?10?4? flop before the 4? turn checked through to the 8? river. Holskyi led out for 10,000; this time, it was Chidwick's turn to promptly call.

Holskyi was bluffing with air and turned over J?9?. Chidwick showed down A?8? which was good for aces and eights.
