Soverel Doubles; Merda Chips Up

Level 6 : 300/600, 100 ante

Sam Soverel three-bet shoved out of the big blind and his opponent quickly called with {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}. Soverel had two over cards with {K-Diamonds}{Q-Diamonds} and got there on the river of a board {A-Clubs}{2-Hearts}{2-Spades}{5-Spades}{K-Spades}. That brought Soverel's stack up to more than half the starting stack.

At the same time on a different table, Igor Merda faced two limpers and raised to 2,500 on the button. John Bonora as one of the limpers was the only caller and checked the {A-Diamonds}{A-Clubs}{4-Spades} flop. Merda continued for 2,200 and Bonora called before announcing a check in the dark. Merda bet the {4-Diamonds} turn for 5,000 and Bonora folded with the words "nice hand."
