BATB Event #14 ($1,500 NLH Championship): Aces Hold "One Time" For Ginold Cham

2018 Battles At The Beach
Event #14 | $1,500 NLH Championship ($500,000 GTD)

Level 20 (Blinds 6,000/12,000/2,000) | Structure
Total Entries: 433
Players Remaining: 24

Ginold Cham (Lake Worth, FL) can sit a little more comfortably, especially after winning a pot worth more than 1,000,000.

At Table 3, Ginold Cham would open from early position, with Raj Vohra then  three-bet shoving for just over 160,000.  Donald Francois was next to act, and he wasn't too quick to release his hand...instead he announced that he was all-in as well (for close to 800,000).  Action folded back around to Cham, who looked at Francois and said, "I guess this is going to be a big."  Ginold made the call, and the hands would be tabled, for a pot worth over 1,000,000:

Cham: A♠ A
Francois: Q♠ Q
Vohra: 8 8♣ 

Runout: J 9♣ 3♠ 3 6

"Hold once in my life," Cham said, as the dealer began running out the board...which did help his aces hold.  Cham would eliminated Raj Vohra in 25th place ($3,816), while Francois dropped below 300,000.

Ginold Cham - 1,050,000 (87bb)
Donald Francois - 240,000 (20bb)
