Soverel Gets Lucky to Double Through Becker
Level 7
: Blinds 2,500/5,000, 5,000 ante
Action was picked up with Sam Soverel all in for 93,000, and Jeremy Becker putting him at risk.
Sam Soverel: A♥J♣ 
Jeremy Becker: A♠K♥
Becker had Soverel dominated, but the 8♥Q♥J♥ flop gave Soverel the lead, although Becker picked up a flush draw, and straight draw to go along with his king as outs.
However, Becker could not improve after the board ran out 3♣ on the turn, 2♠ on the river, to give Soverel the double up.
