Sverko Survives on the River
Level 34
: 150,000/300,000, 300,000 ante
Shyamsundar Challa raised to 600,000 under the gun and Gregor Sverko moved all in for 2,575,000 on the button. Daniel Samson reshoved in the small blind and Challa got out of the way.
Gregor Sverko: K♣10♣ 
Daniel Samson: A♣Q♣
Samson hit top pair on the Q♥J♣6♦ flop, while Sverko picked up a straight draw. The Q♠ turn took away some of Sverko's outs, but he caught the 9♠ on the river to make his straight and double up.
"Unbelievable. He couldn't even catch the ace," Samson said as he handed over the pot.
