Paul Newey raised to 250,000 chips with [Kd4d] on the button and Sam Soverel called with [Qd6c].
Soverel checked the [JsJd9c] flop and so too did Newey, but on the turn of [9d], Soverel’s check was followed by a bet of 310,000 from Newey. That got a fold from the American, and the Brit couldn’t help but assist his opponent with the question on his mind.
“King.” says Newey.
Could he be predicting the future as to the winner of Event #3? The stacks have flipped and the Englishman has the lead.
