Soverel and Smith in the Lead

Level 27 : 1,000/2,000, 0 ante

John Smith flopped a straight with {5-Spades}{4-Clubs} and had a bet of 16,000 on the river called by Mark Burford to scoop a pot and establish an early lead.

On the other side of the table, Sam Soverel is even further ahead in his duel with James Dambrosio. The board f {j-Diamonds}{10-Hearts}{5-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{x-} was all but rushed away and Soverel's bet of 10,000 was called. Soverel showed {k-Clubs}{10-Diamonds} and Dambrosio tapped the table in defeat, said "nice hand" and mucked his cards.
