Norbert Koh has now around 380,000 in chips thanks to recent efforts. One of them was against Michael Mariakis, erstwhile chip leader for Day 1B and second overall entering Day 2, who has stagnated with still around 130,000 or so.
On a board of J♣ 6♥ 7♦, Mariakis opened to 12,500 but saw a raise from Koh with 30,000. Mariakis called to bring the turn Q♣. Koh then was first to bet with 40,000 and quickly Mariakis threw away his hand not wanting to indulge with the new chip leader.
