Ju Gains Traction
Level 9
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Samuel Ju is starting to build some momentum midway through Day 1b after scoring a recent elimination to climb to around 250,000 in chips. The German player just sent Jakub Sterba to the rail, though the exact details of the hand weren’t caught. What’s clear is that Ju is now armed with a healthier stack and gaining traction in the $2,200 Grand Final.
Sterba, who came into the day hoping to build on his solid form from earlier in the series, won’t be advancing from this flight—but Ju is trending in the right direction as the action pushes through the middle levels.
