"I'm a Whale!": Chamas Gets There to Eliminate Oliver
In a hand that extended a few minutes into the first break, Chris Oliver moved all in for around 180,000 and Rayan Chamas went deep into the tank for several minutes as the rest of the tabled headed off to break.
"How much does the money matter to you?" Chamas, who has played the tournament with a plush snake wrapped around his neck, asked as he tried to get a read on Oliver.
"It wouldn't change it too much. Not as much as that guy!" Oliver said as he pointed to the seat of Glen Craigen, who recently secured an unlikely triple-up as he approaches what he told PokerNews would be a life-changing score.
Chamas eventually called to put Oliver at risk.

"I'm a whale!" Chamas cried when he saw he was in bad shape. Chamas got some help from the flop but it was the turn that gave him a huge lead before the river bricked off to mark Oliver's elimination.
