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.
