Sharma Survives
Level 17
: Blinds 6,000/12,000, 12,000 ante
Action opened with Zac Sharma raising to 24,000 from early position. The player in middle position then raised to 75,000. The big blind was already all in from his blind, and Sharma put in the remainder of his chips to put himself at risk as well.
Big Blind: K♦J♦
Zac Sharma: Q♦Q♥
Middle Position: 8♥8♦
Sharma was ahead, although the 7♣6♥5♦ flop brought the threat of a straight for middle position. The 6♣ hit the turn and was followed by the 5♠ on the river, keeping Sharma's queens up as the best hand. Sharma, who was down to only 24,000 as the bubble approached, pulled in a nice pot.
