Soverel Finds a River and a Caller
Steve O’Dwyer just conceded the chip lead in what could be a British Poker Open defining hand for points leader Sam Soverel.
O’Dwyer opened the button to 60,000 and Soverel defended his blind to see a [8c4c3s] flop. He check-called 40,000 and both players tapped the table after the [Ts] came on the turn.
The [6s] completed the board and Soverel quickly cut and slid 180,000 across the line. O’Dwyer took nearly 30 seconds and called just as his ticker was about to expire.
He got bad news, as Soverel tabled [6h3h]. O’Dwyer could only shake his head as he became the Event #8 short stack.
