Chis on toast

Alistair Findlay raised to 70k under the gun. Zachary Ford on his immediate left re-raised to 200k. Ben Chisholm then moved all-in for around 250k in middle position. It was folded back to Findlay who got out of the way and Ford made the obligatory call. Ford said he hoped Chisholm had ace-king, which is precisely what he did have: A K. No-one was quite sure why Ford wished this since it meant his A Q was dominated. Flop and turn were 8 J 2 T leaving Ford needing a king or a nine. The river duly obliged with the 9 and the unfortunate Chisholm exited the tournament in 7th place.

Ben Chisholm limped under the gun and it was folded to Lee Birchall in the big blind, who declined the option to raise. Flop 3 5 8 and turn 7 were checked by both players. Birchall bet 28k when the 9 fell on the river and Chisholm called. Chisholm’s A 9 was better than Birchall’s Q 5 and he picked up a small pot.
