Zerjav Hits Seven Million
Level 26
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
French poker player Thomas Santerne had a monster stack moments ago but found himself on the wrong side of the rail. A majority of his stack went to chip leader Blaz Zerjav, who has been on an upward trajectory throughout the day.
The hand that saw Zerjav get the commanding lead was recapped by the players at the table.
Zerjav opened to 100,000 and called when Santerne three-bet to 450,000 from the small blind.
Zerjav called bets of 500,000 and 950,000 on the flop and turn for the board to read 9x7x4x6x5x. Santerne, with 1,700,000 behind, fired out 1,300,000. Zerjav moved all in and Santerne folded, leaving himself with 400,000.
A few hands later, Santerne was eliminated by another player.
