Sessler Survives
Limits: 40,000-80,000
Gregory Sessler opened under the gun and picked up a call from Jorge Ufano in the big blind.
On the 9♥2♦4♥ flop, Ufano check-raised Sessler’s bet, who then three-bet and got called.
Ufano took the lead on the 6♥ turn and Sessler stuck around to see the 7♥ river.
Ufano continued on the river and Sessler called, only to see Ufano table A♥4♠ for the ace-high flush. Sessler showed J♥J♣ for a jack-high flush but was left short with around 90,000 chips.
In the very next hand, action folded to Dennis Weiss on the button, who raised. Sessler moved all in from the big blind and Weiss made the call, leading to a showdown.
Gregory Sessler: Q♥10♠
Dennis Weiss: A♠4♠
The flop came down 3♥3♠5♥, offering no help for Sessler. He stood up from his chair.
"Oh no, he is standing up," Weiss quipped.
The 5♦ didn't change anything, but the 10♣ river gave Sessler a better pair to stay around in the tournament.
