Champ: Final Six Chip Counts

$2,500 + $200 Championship Deep Stack NLH  

Rough chip counts for the final six:

Anthony Maio - 2.7 million
Michael Marder - 2.3 million
Yat Cheng - 1.5 million
Melad Marji - 1.2 million
Vitaly Kovyazin - 800k
Mike Melkersen - 650k

Mike Melkersen opened for 70k from the cutoff.  Then Michael Marder (button) slid out a stack of 'watermelons' -- 25k chips in a stack of 20, good for half a million.

That effectively covered Melkersen, who tanked for a minute, then let it go.  He was left with ~530k.

Yat Cheng opened for 100k on the button, only to have Vitaly Kovyazin move in from the big blind.  Yat surrendered.
