🏆 DJ Sharma Crushes Event #8: $230 NLH for His First Trophy
DJ Sharma, a familiar local tour player, made his mark with his catchphrase "Sharma Time" 💣. And, on Day 5, it was indeed his time. Sharma steamrolled through the 83-player field, capturing the $5,510 top prize.
Sharma's tournament life hung in the balance with seven players remaining, but he found running spades with 8♠3♠. His elimination of Daryl Roberts boosted his stack, and when Zachary York found the same on Stefan Maloney, the tournament was reduced to five players. Sharma continued his impressive run, taking out Stacey Deiderich to gain the chip lead at around 900,000 chips 🏆.
His journey continued as he outplayed Pat Wilson with pocket sevens against Wilson's big slick. Sharma subsequently eliminated Brad Stevens when his flush draw bricked out 🔥. York doubled after getting it all in with pocket eights against Sharma's ace-ten. The flop seemed disastrous for Sharma, showing an ace, but an eight was hidden beneath, leaving the two lock-step in chips 🃏.
However, Sharma's relentless aggression quickly put York on the ropes. Eventually, Sharma moved all in with an open-ended straight draw. The board bricked for Sharma's pair, holding and awarding him his first-ever tournament trophy 🏆.
