Soverel Jumps In

Level 2 : 300/600, 600 ante

Sam Soverel, after busting the $250,000 Super High Roller less than an hour ago, is back in action in this tournament. On one of the first hands he was dealt, Soverel limped in from under the gun and Robert Mizrachi raised 2,000 from middle position.

Mizrachi continued for 1,100 on the {2-Hearts}{4-Clubs}{3-Clubs} flop and Soverel called. Both players checked the {a-Hearts} turn before Soverel led out for 1,200 on the {10-Spades} river. Mizrachi quickly threw his hand into the muck.

Anthony Zinno has also joined the field for this event.
