Sheikhan Chips Up After Large Open
Level 23
: 12,000/24,000, 6,000 ante
Shawn Sheikhan raised to 85,000 from under the gun and Brian Rest defended his big blind.
Rast drew one while Sheikhan stood pat. Both players checked and Sheikhan won the pot with a 
low.
He closes the gap to Dario Sammartino in first place, who is just under 200,000 chips ahead of him in the counts.
