Soverel Pressurising Wolff Before Biggest Pot Changes Lead
Sam Soverel had won most of the last half-dozen pots through some aggressive raising, including a bluff in the hand that preceded the biggest pot of the heads-up battle so far.
“I hope you never get to find out what I just had!” he said with a smirk.
“Well, I’ll get to see it,” said Wolff, just after Soverel made that stinging bluff on the turn against him. Soverel has noticeably altered his between-pot body language in this event, going from lethargic to energetic as he’s built his way back up to 2.3 million, but he’s just lost the lead.
In the latest salvo, Soverel bet 180,000 pre-flop and Wolff re-raised to 540,000 with Soverel calling to make it the biggest heads-up pot yet.
Wolff: [AcQd8c7d]
Soverel: [QhJd9d6h]
The flop of [8dKs5h] saw a shove from Wolff for 865,000 chips, and with 62% in his favor, Wolff was favorite to take the pot. As if to sense that, Soverel folded.
