Zhou and Chidwick Chip Up

Level 17 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Quan Zhou raised to 90,000 and Sergi Reixach defended his big blind. On the {9-Spades}{6-Clubs}{3-Diamonds} flop, Reixach checked and called a bet of 90,000 before the {A-Clubs} fell on the turn. Reixach checked and called another bet worth 175,000 before the {8-Clubs} river was checked through. Reixach showed {9-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds} and Zhou claimed the pot with {K-Diamonds}{K-Spades} while his opponent tapped the table.

Over on the other table, Stephen Chidwick opened to 80,000 and Bryn Kenney called in the cutoff. On a flop of {9-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{3-Diamonds}, Chidwick continued for 150,000 and was called before the {9-Clubs} turn slowed the Brit down and he checked. Kenney took a stab at the pot by betting 185,000 and Chidwick called.

The {3-Clubs} on the river was checked again and Chidwick rolled over {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs} for a flush to scoop the pot.
