Shimelfarb Continues To Climb
Level 24
: 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
There was around 225,000 in the middle on a board reading 
with action heads up between Rob Wazwaz in the small blind and Gennady Shimelfarb, who was on the button.
Wazwaz threw out a bet of 100,000 and Shimelfarb thought for a bit. He then slid in a raise, which the dealer cut out and announced to be 350,000. Wazwaz took about 10 seconds and then sent his cards to the muck.
Shimelfarb has been responsible for five of the last eight eliminations, vaulting him up the counts to make him the clear chip leader. With his most recent pot, he has eclipsed 2.5 million and now holds roughly one-third of the chips in play.
