Chips for Chimkovitch; Juanda Bests Sow
Level 17
: 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
On a 
board, Anthony Chimkovitch bet 59,000 into 75,000 and his opponent tank-folded allowing his opponent to take down the pot and move back up towards 500,000 in chips.
Meanwhile, John Juanda opened to 14,000 and Kalidou Sow defended his big blind. The flop came 
and Sow check-called 9,000.
The turn was the 
and Sow checked. Juanda studied the board before betting 18,000, and Sow folded.
Sat to the left of Sow is Niall Farrell who was alternating between studying his phone and the tournament clock.
"I've made the €10k pay jump," he said, "So at least I can buy into the €10k High Roller [which starts tomorrow]." Fingers crossed for him at least that he doesn't have to, with the Main Event not finishing until Sunday.
