Lentz Looking For Another Deep Run in a Huge Field
Paul Lentz raised to 6,500 preflop from the cutoff, and received a call from the player under the gun who had previously limped in.
The flop came 6♦4♣2♥ and Lentz bet 13,500 in response to his opponent's check. His opponent then went all in with a slightly larger stack and Lentz called. "I hope you didn't hit me with a set," Lentz said.
Under the Gun: 10♦10♣
Paul Lentz: Q♠Q♣
Lentz' bigger overpair survived the 2♣6♠ runout, and Lentz doubled up.
Lentz has had success in large field tournaments, having cashed in the four biggest WSOP fields to date. His best run came in the 2015 Colossus event, where he earned $234,927 by finishing fourth out of a 22,374-entrant field. As this event could potentially field over 20,000 entries, Lentz is looking to go deep in a fifth event of this size.
