Sessum Wins a Monster, Takes Chip Lead

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 200 ante
Maurice Sessum
Maurice Sessum

Maurice Sessum just knocked out two players in a wild preflop confrontation to win the biggest pot of the tournament thus far.

Jeff Joseph opened to 3,200 and Sessum three-bet to 7,700. Tom Sartori called, and Adam Greenly moved in for 17,600 from the blinds. Joseph folded, Sessum moved all in over the top and Sartori quickly called for his tournament life.

Greenly: {K-Clubs}{K-Spades}
Sessum: {A-Diamonds}{A-Spades}
Sartori: {J-Spades}{9-Spades}

Sartori was looking to gamble and it appeared to pay off when the flop rolled out {8-Spades}{7-Clubs}{Q-Spades}, giving him a straight flush draw. The {9-Hearts} on the turn added even more outs to his hand, but the {Q-Diamonds} on the river secured the huge pot for Sessum, who pumped his fist in the air and now stands as the new chip leader.
