Chidwick Wins Staring Contest Against Keating
Niveau 19
: Blinds 10,000/20,000, 20,000 ante
Andras Nemeth opened to 40,000 from under the gun and Alex Keating three-bet to 125,000 in the next seat. Stephen Chidwick then cold four-bet to 295,000 in the small blind, forcing out Nemeth and earning a call from Chidwick.
What followed was a staring contest on the K♥J♦10♣ flop and 4♦ turn, both of which were eventually checked through. Chidwick bet the 6♣ river for 120,000 and Keating called but mucked to the A♥K♦ of the Brit.
Not a single word was spoken during the hand, Keating then said "nice hand ... would you call off if I shove pre?" but received no answer.
