Chilaud Chipping Up Well in Final Level
Level 9
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
A big pot had brewed between Maxime Chilaud and the under-the-gun player with around 125,000 in the middle on a full board of 10♠5♣7♦J♥6♣. Chilaud was in the small blind and fired out 53,000 on the river, which sent his opponent into the tank.
After some time thinking, the under-the-gun player elected to fold, and Chilaud was pushed the pot, which brought his stack up to around 220,000.
Chilaud is no stranger to the Merit Poker series and has three titles under his belt, including a Main Event win in the Carmen Series in March 2023 for $376,800, his second-biggest score of his career.
