Peters Binks a Five on the River
Niveau 23
: 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
David Peters limped the small blind with 
and Stephen Chidwick checked his options with 
. Chidwick got the better of the 
flop, hitting the top pair. Peters checked and called when Chidwick made it 50,000.
The 
turn gave Peters a gutshot straight draw while Chidwick picked up a flush draw. Peters checked again and Chidwick decided to go for a big bullet, overbetting to 325,000. Peters called anyway.
And he was rewarded for sticking around as the 
river filled him with a straight. He wouldn't get any more money as the action went check-check but the river secured him a sizeable pot and he's now chasing Chidwick for the chip lead.
