Brutal Turn Makes Zobrist the Main Event Day 1a Bubble Boy
Level 14
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
From under the gun, Tobias Zobrist jammed for 63,000 and Samuel Klocker made the call from the small blind. Once the other tables completed their action, the cards were flipped over.
Tobias Zobrist: Q♦Q♠ 
Samuel Klocker: A♥J♦
Zobrist was in a good spot with pocket queens to double up on the bubble if he could dodge an ace on the runout.
A flop of 10♥8♦3♠ kept Zobrist's ladies in the lead. However, an A♣ arrived on the turn to give Klocker the best hand, leaving Zobrist on the brink of elimination.
A 10♦ rolled off on the river and Zobrist was the bubble boy for Day 1a of the Main Event.
The remaining 17 players began to bag up their chips and will return for Day 2 on Sunday, March 8.
