Childress Catches Chestnut Making a Move For a Massive Double
Level 35
: Blinds 250,000/500,000, 500,000 ante
Coleem Chestnut raised to 1,200,000 on the button and Derek Childress called in the big blind.
Both players checked the 6♠5♥2♦ flop. Chestnut then bet 1,500,000 on the J♠ turn, and Childress raised to 4,500,000. Chestnut came back with an all-in shove, and Childress quickly called for 16,125,000.
Childress showed J♣5♣ for two pair, while Chestnut had a straight draw with A♦3♦. The K♦ river was no help to Chestnut, and he handed over the massive pot to leave himself on an extreme short stack.
