Daniel Habib Continues to Ascend

Daniel Habib (pictured) started the new level with 11 big blinds and is now second in chips after doubling up and building from there. Habib put Justin Uys to the test on the river and finally got the better of him.

Uys opened to 225,000 under the gun and Habib defended his big blind. The duo checked the  flop and the turn. Habib then bet 1,000,000 on the  river. Uys gave Habib the eye and relented.

Habib is playing 3,670,000 with Uys slightly below 3,000,000. Muaaz Gani is the chip leader with 4,240,000.
