Zobian a One-Man Wrecking Crew

Level 12 : 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Aram Zobian
Aram Zobian

Neil Warren opened to 25,000 from the button and Aram Zobian three-bet to 331,000 from the small blind, enough to cover both Warren and Jeremy Ausmus who had a bit over 200,000 in the big blind. Ausmus folded before Warren snap-called with his stack of roughly 190,000, putting himself at risk.

Neil Warren: AK All in
Aram Zobian: 77

Warren couldn't connect with his overcards on the 4Q24J, resulting in his elimination while Zobian collected his remaining chips.

A few hands earlier Zobian also eliminated Andrew Lichtenberger, with the recent string of knockouts giving Zobian a huge lead over the rest of the field.

Level 11 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

With the board reading AAKQK and exactly 30,000 in the middle, Jeremy Becker bet 15,000 from the small blind. Sean Winter raised to 38,000 from the big blind, and Becker three-bet to 80,000. Winter used a time extension before folding.

Becker offered to show Winter one card and Winter obliged, revealing the K from Becker's hand before Becker took the pot.

With three players seeing a board of Q77K, Bill Klein checked from the small blind, and Andrew Lichtenberger bet 10,000 from the big blind. Alex Foxen raised to 35,000 from the hijack before Klein raised to 110,000. Lichtenberger called, and Foxen folded.

The two remaining players checked the J river. Klein had top two pair with KQ, but Lichtenberger showed trips with 76 to win the hand.
