Isle Open Event 1 (Flight 1A): From Worst To First, Wohlgemuth Triples Up

2017 Isle Open | Event #1
$175 No Limit Hold'em | $100,000 GTD
Level 11 (Blinds 600/1,200/200)
Total Flight 1A Entries: 113
Flight 1A Players Remaining: 41

Julian Wohlegmuth (Boynton Beach, FL) checks the tournament clock, looking to see how his newfound stack relates
to the current blinds.

Julian Wohlgemuth (Boynton Beach, FL) is one of the "tournament regulars" that chose this opening flight to fire their shell, and after a little bit of luck, he's looking to find his way to the bagging process.  Wohlgemuth had open shoved from under-the-gun (for 13,800), and would watch as Frank Scala three-bet shoved (for 27,000), and then an unknown player behind four-bet shove (for over 65,000).  The blinds would release their hands, and once the three players tabled their holdings, Julian would be in third place (but still have good equity).

Julian held 10♣ 9♣, up against the AK of Scala, and the A♠ Q of the third (and unknown) player.  Wohlgemuth then went from worst to first, after the 9♠ 6♣ 5 flop, leaving his opponents drawing to just over a handful of outs.  The 4♠ on the turn only strengthened Julian's lead, with the river 6 completing his triple-up.  His stack would go from 13,800 to 45,000, giving Julian a stack over (30) big blinds for the first time since the beginning stages of the flight.

Julian Wohlgemuth - 45,000
Frank Scala - 17,000
