The Stack That Launched 5,000 Chips

Ganesh Bathmanathan, he whose enormo-stack after knocking out Raymond Rahme prompted the introduction of the blue 5,000-denomination chips, has picked up even more.

We caught up with the action on the turn of the {10-Spades} {8-Diamonds} {J-Spades} {10-Clubs} board, with Bathmanathan betting and Oskar Silow calling. "Wow, you called," noted Bathmanathan. "Next time I check."

The river came down the {A-Clubs} and duly Bathmanathan announced check. Silow checked behind, and his {7-?} {10-?} was no good against Bathmanathan's {Q-?} {10-?}.

Bathmanathan is up to 160,000. Our chip leader, however, remains JP Kelly, with 190,000.
