The Rich Grow Richer

Matthew Pitt

Level 3 : 150/300, 50 ante

Daniel Chutrov looks to be out first player over 100,000 chips thanks to being on what seems to be a huge heater right now and the fact he sent Asbjorn Elvevold to the rail and absorbed Elvevold's stack into his own.

First, Elvevold raised to 825 and then called when Chutrov three-bet to 1,850. Elvevold then checked to Chutrov on an flop and quickly stepped out of the way when facing a 1,600 continuation bet.

The very next hand saw Elvevold make it 825 again, Chutrov raised to 1,850 and Elvevold called. A flop reading was initially checked by Elvevold, Chutrov bet 1,600 only to see Elvevold check-raise to 4,000.

Chutrov asked how many chips Elvevold had behind — around 24,000 — before making it 25,000 to play. Elvevold called and the cards were flipped into their backs.

Elvevold needed some help from the turn or river in order to stay in the tournament. However, it failed to arrive after the turn was followed into play by the river. Elvevold headed to the rail while Chutrov continued on his seemingly unstoppable march up the chip counts.
