Flashback: Sasha Sabbaghian Takes Down $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship
Sasha Sabbaghian’s journey during last weekend’s $600 The Hendon Mob Mid-Major Championship was in doubt multiple times at the Thunder Valley Casino and Resort.
Sabbaghian, at one point, was down to 50,000 in chips with 15 remaining in the tournament. His prospects were bleak, but a few double-ups got him back in the game, and he rode that wave all the way to The Hendon Mob trophy, RGPS ring, and the $95,295 top prize as he outlasted a total of 1,111 entries to lock up the title.
“Earlier in the day, I was down to three and a half bigs, spun it up, got back down to three and a half bigs, and spun it up again,” Sabbaghian said. “So after I spun that up, from the fifty, I was just like, all right, this is just meant to be. It was honestly the craziest tournament I’ve ever played.”
