Daly Survives as Sharma Takes Hit
Level 38
: Blinds 500,000/1,000,000, 1,000,000 ante
Steven Daly was first to act and shipped it for 5,500,000. Nishant Sharma woke up with a hand in the big blind he was willing to go with and made the call to put Sharma at risk for his tournament life.
Steven Daly: Q♣10♠
Nishant Sharma: A♣8♣
Sharma had the slight edge preflop, but it was Daly who would vault into the lead when the flop came 5♣10♥3♠ to give him a pair of tens.
The 8♥ hit Sharma giving him a couple of more outs to win the pot, but the river was all Daly when the Q♦ hit on fifth street to secure the double-up.
