Chidwick Doubles Through Kelsall to Leave Him Short

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

AJ Kelsall shoved from the small blind for Stephen Chidwick to ask for a count. The dealer confirmed Kelsall held 3,825,000 which covered the 3,700,000 Chidwick had. He considered it for a bit and then made the call for his tournament life.

Stephen Chidwick: A?5?
AJ Kelsall: J?10?

The flop came K?A?K? for Chidwick to hit two pair.

The turn was the 9? and changed nothing as Kelsall still needed a queen to take Chidwick out.

The 10? on the river completed the board for Kelsall to be left with a mere 125,000.

Reard Forces a Fold

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 750,000 out of the small blind and AJ Kelsall called in the big blind.

Reard continued for 525,000 following the 8?5?3? flop only to see Kelsall raise to 1,400,000. After some thought and checking to see how much Kelsall had behind, Reard called.

The 3? turn saw Reard check and Kelsall continue his aggression with a bet of 1,700,000. Reard responded by moving all in, getting a snap fold from Kelsall.

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Justin Liberto
Justin Liberto

Alexandre Reard opened to 500,000 on the button and then called after Justin Liberto moved all in for 4,000,000 out of the big blind.

Justin Liberto: 10?10?
Alexandre Reard: A?10?

Liberto was well ahead with his pocket pair but Reard did pick up a Broadway draw on the 8?J?K? flop. The A? turn suddenly left Liberto on the ropes heading to the river and his exit in fourth place was confirmed after the 3? completed the board.

Reard Picks Off Liberto

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 500,000 on the button and was called by Justin Liberto in the big blind.

Liberto check-called a continuation of 350,000 from Reard on the 10?5?2? flop.

Both players checked through the 7? turn to the Q? river at which point Liberto bet a hefty 1,125,0000. Reard thought for a moment before flicking in the call holding J?10?. Liberto could only show A?9? for the bluff to send the pot over to his opponent.

Reard Gets Some Chips Back

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexandre Reard raised to 500,000 from under the gun and Justin Liberto was the only one to make the call from the small blind.

The flop came 10?5?2? and they both checked to see the 7? on the turn. Liberto bet 350,000 for Reard to call.

The river completed the board with the 7?. Liberto checked for the final time but Reard bet 775,000 to send Liberto into the tank. He counted out some chips, looked at his hole cards a few times, cut out calling chips and then called but mucked when Reard tabled the J?10? for two pair, tens and sevens.

Liberto Goes For It All

Level 31 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Alexandre Reard opened to 500,000 on the button and Justin Liberto defended in the big blind.

Liberto checked following the 9?4?8? flop, prompting Reard to continue for 475,000. After a moment's thought, Liberto responded by check-raising all in, which got an instant fold from Reard to continue the Frenchman's early struggles as his chiplead has evaporated in the space of half an hour of play.
