Sombero Scoops

Sombero soars up chip leaderboard
Sombero soars up chip leaderboard
Six players limped in to see the flop of {3-Clubs}{5-Clubs}{A-Diamonds} with Wally Sombero leading out from early position to 2,500. Mark Cornwell was next to speak and moved all in for his last 5,625. He was cold-called by Simone Peri.

With the action folding back around to Sombero, he also moved all in for 12,225 total. After some hesitation, Peri made the call.

Sombero: {A-Clubs}{7-Clubs}
Cornwell: {A-Spades}{6-Spades}
Peri: {A-Hearts}{J-Clubs}

The turn didn't change anything when it peeled the {2-Hearts}, but when the dealer planted the {4-Clubs} on the river, it sent Sombero leaping into the air. The river sent Cornwell to the rail and it nearly trippled Sombero to up over 31,000 in chips.
