Sotiropoulos, with A ♣ 7 ♣ in the big blind, put him all in and he made the call. In his final hand, he raised to 12,900,000 with Q ♥ J ♦, leaving just 5,000,000 behind. Heath, who entered the tournament with nearly $20 million in The Hendon Mob cashes, was next to bust (fifth place for $1,583,100) moments after having his chip stack decimated by Lichtenberger. He was finding the right mix of luck and well-timed aggression to dominate play. Sepiol would then turn a straight against Heath, who rivered two pair, and use that hand to move into the chip lead after starting the day with just 29 big blinds. The sixth-place finisher took home $1,207,000. He'd nearly doubled his stack at that point simply by being being the aggressor.Ĭoincidentally, an hour or so later, Martirosian would move all in with the pocket fives, and Sepiol would call with pocket sevens and hold up. Moments later, Sepiol showed some more aggression when he jammed preflop with 5 ♦ 5 ♣ to force the shortest stack, Martirosian, off A ♣ 10 ♦.
