Stuve Stacks Further Chips

Level 2 : 150/300, 0 ante

Joining the action on the heads-up flop of {J-Diamonds}{10-Spades}{9-Hearts}, Kalidou Sow led for 3,000 and Robert Stuve raised it up to 6,500, which Sow called. Both ended up checking down the {10-Clubs} turn and the {A-Hearts} river and Stuve showed {8-Hearts}{7-Hearts} for a straight to win the pot.

"It is good to run in the Main Event, but most people save it for level 18 and later," Frank Kassela joked from the other side of the table before adding "I am rooting for you." Stuve is the current chip leader on the table that is filled with big names such as Kassela, Sow and Antonio Esfandiari.
