Crivell Chipping Up
Patrick Crivell began the day over on the feature table as the short stack and we heard Jennifer Tilly take a beat just before the break and mention getting called by someone with an open-ended straight draw.
Tilly is now short with less than 200,000 and Crivell is currently sitting on just under 1 million in chips so using our Sherlock Holmes powers of deduction we think Crivell may be the player in question.
Crivell has been flexing his large stack and recently became involved in a hand with Artur Koren.
Preflop in a battle of the blinds Koren completed from the small blind, Crivell threw in a small raise and Koren called to bring both players to a flop of 
.
Koren checked it over to Crivell who led out for 31,000, which was quickly called by the German and it was off to the 
turn.
Koren check-called another Crivell bet of 31,000 and the 
arrived on the river to complete the board and bring a third check from the German.
Crivell pushed out a tower of chips for a bet of 123,000 and Koren folded pretty quickly to drop down to 680,000 while Crivell has about 980,000 after scooping that pot.
