Hobday’s bold turn bet secures a massive pot in Level 28 showdown
A high-stakes clash unfolded in Level 28 of the tournament between Jacob Hobday and Aaron La. The hand ended with Hobday securing a large pot, further extending his chip lead. Both players entered the showdown cautiously, but the action escalated after the turn.
The hand began with both Hobday and La limping in before the flop. The community cards landed as 6♠ 7♣ 3♦, prompting La to check-call a 200,000-chip bet from his opponent.
The turn brought the J♥, and La checked once more. This time, Hobday seized the moment, firing a massive 650,000-chip bet. La folded, allowing Hobday to claim the pot and widen his advantage. After the hand, Hobday solidified his position at the top of Level 28 with roughly 7.6 million chips. La, meanwhile, holds around 3.8 million, keeping him in contention but trailing behind.
Hobday’s bold move on the turn paid off, reinforcing his dominance in the tournament’s current stage. The win boosts his stack significantly, while La remains in the game but with fewer chips to maneuver. The next rounds will determine whether La can recover or if Hobday continues to pull ahead.
