Isle Classic Event #18 (Flight 1E): Sassen Continues To Climb, Extends Chip Lead

2017 Isle Classic | Event #18
$175 No Limit Hold'em ($100,000 GTD)
Level 14 (Blinds 1,200/2,400/400)
Total Flight 1E Entries: 183
Flight 1E Players Remaining: 42

The focus has been an Andrew Sassen since players returned to break, as he just eliminated a player to help pad his chip lead.  Sassen opened the action after players folded to him, tossing in a raise to 5,000 (this was one of the final hands in Level 13).  The players next to act would three-bet shove for just under 30,000, with Mitch Silver giving things some though...before eventually folding his hand.  Sassen was likely itching for Silver to enter the pot in some form, as he quickly made the call (after action folded back around to him) with K♠ K♣.  He'd be up against A♣ K, but had little to no sweat through the runout.

That pot helped Andrew eclipse 275,000, as he continues to gain separation from the rest of the Flight 1E field.

Andrew Sassen - 280,000 (116bb)
