Soverel Wins Unconvential Pot With Ace-King; Smith Chips-Up Against Davies
Martin Kabrhel put in a single 100,000 chip from early position before verbally announcing raise, forcing the dealer to enforce the "single-chip rule" and making it a call. David Peters would be right behind Kabrhel, though, with a raise to 175,000 from middle position and would be called by Sam Soverel in the big blind, with Kabrhel coming along as well.
The three players would check down a board of 10♣6♠8♦A♠J♠, with Soverel tabling A♦K♦ for top pair. Kabrhel and Peters mucked.
One table over, Dan Smith, who started the day as one of the shortest stacks and has been battling all day, would come out on top in a pot against Seth Davies.
Smith raised to 100,000 from middle position and was called by Davies in the big blind. The 4♥J♦5♠ flop would check through, with Davies check-calling a bet from Smith for 135,000 on the 8♥ turn.
Davies would check-call another bet from Smith on the J♣ river, this time for a hefty 425,000. Smith tabled A♣8♣ for two pair and Davies folded face down.
