Rayan Chamas has just added a cool 50M to his stack following a 30M river bet into a 35M chip pot in a hand against Niall Farrell. Farrell had the lead most of the way with his middle pair, but the money card on the river gave him two pairs compared with Chamas’ nut straight. Chamas, first to act, led out with a huge bet, effectively polarizing his range. After a good 6 minutes in the tank, Farrell made the call and learned the bad news.
With that hand Chamas has become one of the larger chip accumulators during the first level of play today and now sits on a stack of over 204M chips.
