Ludovic Geilich Eliminated, Soverel Nears 1 Million
George Wolff still leads by a fair margin, but Sam Soverel hasn’t called off the chase for the Event #2 chip lead. The High Roller of the Year leader just eliminated Ludovic Geilich to inch closer to the final table and British Poker Open points.
Action was picked up with the board reading [Js9d5s] and the cards tabled. Geilich had shoved and Soverel called with [As4d4h3s]. The partypoker pro had the best of it for the time being, holding [QhQs8c6s].
Soverel spiked his, and Geilich’s, flush on the [7s] turn and his elimination was official after the [7d] came on the river.
When the dust settled, Soverel stacked up just shy of 1,000,000 chips as Geilich exited in 8th place.
