Event 5: Sagi Zommer Takes the Lead

$150 No Limit Hold’em (Re-Entry)
Level 35: 150,000/300,000 with a 50,000 Ante
Players Remaining: 2 of 1,804
Average Stack: 9,025,000 (30 bb)

Both players put 600,000 apiece in the pot preflop, and the dealer spread 4d3h2d. Sagi Zommer moves all in for 6,200,000, and Alan Dobrow called to put him at risk.

Zommer: Js4c
Dobrow: 9h4s

Zommer’s kicker had him in the lead poised for the double. The turn was the disastrous 9d, though, flipping the script and giving Dobrow a big lead with one to come. He was one card from the trophy, but the river reversed things yet again. The Jh peeled off to complete the board, giving Zommer the double-up with jacks up.

Sagi Zommer: 13,700,000 (46 bb)
Alan Dobrow: 4,340,000 (14 bb)
