Isle Open Event 1 (Day 2): Kruger Triples Up, Now Over 1,000,000

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 27 (Blinds 30,000/60,000/5,000)
Total Event 1 Entries: 1,239
Players Remaining: 29



Arno Kruger (Sunny Isles, FL) looked defeated when the cards were tabled for his all-in, but quickly turned to smiles after flopping bottom set.

Christopher Gilkey opened the action at Table 4 to 150,000, with Arno Kruger (Sunny Isles, FL) shoving for 340,000.  After a few folds, action would be on A. Nonymous, who would re-shove for over 500,000.  Gilkey originally asked for a count, but after finding out that Gilbert's stack was in the 500,0000 range, he made the call.

Gilkey quickly turned over his hand (7 7♠), and would be up against the 6♠ 6♣ of Kruger, and A K of A. Nonymous.  Kruger let out a loud yell after the Q♠ 6 4flop, grabbing the lead with bottom set, only needing to fade a seven on the turn or river.  Both streets would run out clean for Arno, who would triple up to over 1,000,000, while Chris won the side pot (eliminating A. Nonymous).

Christopher Gilkey - 2,600,000
Arno Kruger - 1,100,000
