Chidwick and Carrel Tangle, Still No Turn

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

The players are taking it slow at the moment, probably waiting for some of those late entries. We overheard Holz say he is planning on playing but will probably leave it until the last minute to enter.

There have been a few walks and the rest of the pots have either been taken down preflop or on the flop.

The first hand that bucked this trend came when Sam Greenwood opened the action from under the gun with a raise to 500 with Charlie Carrel calling from the button before Stephen Chidwick re-raised to 2,200 from the small blind.

Ben Tollerene folded the big blind and Greenwood also gave it up but Carrel opted to make the call to take play heads-up to a flop of {9-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Clubs}.

Chidwick checked it over to Carrel, who decided the right amount to bet was 2,200, which was enough to get Chidwick to give it up.

No Turns

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

There seems to be a ban on turns as of late, since no hand has gone past the river. It's small pots for now.

Chidwick Shoves On Tollerene

Level 4 : 100/200, 25 ante

After a pretty slow start to the level, the first big hand to take place happened between Stephen Chidwick and Ben Tollerene.

Tollerene opened the action with a raise to 475 from under the gun and Chidwick made the call from the big blind to take play heads-up to a {4-Diamonds}{3-Hearts}{4-Spades} flop.

Tollerene continuation bet 350 after a Chidwick check, only to see Chidwick check raise to 900. Tollerene thought it over but did make the call bringing the action to the {3-Diamonds} turn.

Now with the initiative, Chidwick led out for 2,200 and Tollerene called to bring in the {5-Hearts} river.

Chidwick nearly burned through the allotted 30-seconds before moving all in and while he did not look too thrilled about it Tollerene made the fold.
