Kharman Extends Lead

Level 24: 15,000/30,000 (30,000)
Entries: 5/328

Adam Kharman opened for 60,000 from under the gun with K 6 . The action folded around to Kurt Skimmeland with 5 3 and he opted to defend his big blind.

Kharman improved to top pair on the 2 7 K flop. Skimmeland checked and Kharman bet 45,000. Skimmeland attempted a move with a raise to 115,000 with air. Kharman tanked for a moment before he called.

Skimmeland took his foot off the gas and checked the A turn. Kharman bet 130,000 and Skimmeland called with a gutshot wheel draw.

Both players checked the 5 river and although this improved Skimmeland to a pair of fives, Kharman was awarded the pot with the better pair to further extend his chip lead.

Adam Kharman – 5.8 million
Kurt Skimmeland – 2.3 million
