Soverel Goes For It
Level 19
: Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante
Jesse Lonis raised to 210,000 and was called by Matthew Wantman before Sam Soverel, on the button, potted to 930,000.
"How could I not bust this hand," Soverel said as Lonis called. Wantman got out of the way and the flop came 2♦9♣Q♣. Lonis immediately put Soverel all in, and Soverel called for his last 430,000.
Sam Soverel: A♦Q♥10♠9♥
Jesse Lonis: 9♦8♥6♥5♥
Soverel was ahead with two pair as the board ran out J♥7♥, improving him to a straight and securing his double up near the money bubble.
"You really went for it, dude," tablemate Noah Schwartz told him following the hand.
