Sembrat Nearly Triples
Spenser Sembrat drew the line in the sand when he jammed for 107,000 from the hijack. The cutoff also chose to go all-in for less with a shove for 79,000. Terrance Reid woke up with a hand and chose to make the call to put Sembrat and the cutoff at risk.
Cutoff: 10♠10♦
Spenser Sembrat: J♣J♠
Terrance Reid: A♣Q♠
Sembrat was in the lead as they went to a runout, but he needed to fade overcards and a ten to stay in contention.
The flop was an immediate relief for Sembrat when it came J♥3♥6♣ to give Sembrat top set.
Sembrat stayed ahead on the 4♦ turn and the 7♣ river to secure nearly a triple up in the late stages of Day 1a.
Reid was eliminated shortly after, as he was seen leaving the tournament area a couple of hands after his loss to Sembrat.
