Soverel Gets Short, Then Doubles
Sam Soverel fell to the bottom of the leaderboard and then quickly doubled to get back into Event #1 contention.
Action was picked up with Isaac Baron opening to 80,000 and Soverel calling in the big blind.
Soverel check-called 60,000 after the [KdQh7s] flop and check-called 130,000 after the [8h] fell on the turn.
The [7d] paired the board and Soverel checked for a third time – but he didn’t call after Baron moved all-in, instead electing to save his final 270,000.
That stack got in the middle a few hands later, after Jeremy Ausmus opened and Soverel shoved for 275,000.
The chip leader called and Ausmus needed to hit with [AsQd] against [QcQh].
The board ran out [Ts5c2s4cKd] and Soverel doubled.
