Chiu Needs Some Time
Niveau 20
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Michael Duek raised from the hijack for 40,000 and Charlie Chiu was the only one to make the call from the big blind. The flop fanned out 9♠8♠10♣ and Chiu check-raised a 40,000 continuation bet from Duek to 150,000. Duek put in the extra chips and the pair saw the J♣ turn being dealt.
Chiu reverted to a check and Duek took the opportunity to bet for 300,000 chips. Chiu called, and the 2♠ river rolled off.
Chiu checked again, and Duek doubled his bet to 600,000. This sent Chiu into a tank that lasted several minutes, apologizing to his tablemates a few times while he thought things over.
Eventually, he settled on a fold, granting the pot to Duek. "It's really, really close," Chiu concluded.
