Sofia Lovgren Wins Race, Triples Up
Sofia Lovgren is at risk for her tournament life holding against two others players. One of the other players is at risk holding , the second player holding .
It didn't take long for the leader to swing and Lovgren to be in great position to not only triple her stack, but put herself well above the average chip stack heading into Day 2.
The dealer spread out an ace on the flop and continued building on Lovgren's lead with another ace on the turn. She escaped a jack and a queen on the river and pulled in a huge pot worth just over 75,000.
Lovgren has one cash so far this summer here at the WSOP, a 178th place finish in a $1,500 No-Limit Hold'em event for $2,813. She'll be looking to add to that total here in the Monster Stack event as she bags up for Day 2.
