Chidwick Picks Off a Bluff; New Arrivals
Level 1
: Blinds 1,000/2,000, 2,000 ante
Stephen Chidwick opened to 5,000 in early position and Seth Davies called in the small blind, while the big blind also called.
The flop of K?5?6? checked through and Davies led out for 6,000 on the 3? turn. Only Chidwick called. The 8? completed the board and Davies fired for 24,000. Chidwick called.
Davies tabled A?4? for just ace-high and Chidwick showed the winner with 8?6? for a rivered two pair.
As the hand played out, newcomers Artur Martirosian, Patrick Leonard, Kevin Rabichow, Frank Funaro, Brian Kim and reigning Main Event champion Espen Jorstad all took their seats.
