Sova Rivers Top Set to Beat Two Pair

Matt O'Halloran

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

After Dominic Coombe opened for 240,000 in the hijack, Daniel Schausberger tanked for a bit, letting the clock run down as the field approached the break. With under 15 seconds left in the level, he folded. A moment or two later, David Meagher moved all in for 2,150,000 in the small blind. John Sova made the call as the big blind, and once Coombe got out of the way, it was time for a showdown.

David Meagher:
John Sova:

The flop pair Sova's ace, but gave Meagher bottom two pair. The turn left Sova drawing thin, but the river gave him top set, enough to beat Meagher's two pair, and send him to the rail as the field went on their last break of the day. Sova continues to have one of the biggest stacks in the field.

Aces vs Kings, Chop?

Kirk Brown

Level 29 : 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

John Sova and Yita Choong (two of the biggest stacks in play) found themselves all in preflop.

"I have kings, man," said Choong as he tabled .

"Oh, really?" Sova responded as he flipped over - pocket kings' worst nightmare.

And to make it worse, the flop came out which gave Sova top set. Choong sighed and started gathering his things.

But the turn gave Choong hope for a chop, even the table was shouting, "Club! Club!".

When the landed on the river the whole table went ballistic.

"What is going on with these hands today?" Choong asked aloud, sounding quite relieved as he sat back down and chopped the pot with Sova.
