Sova Rivers Top Set to Beat Two Pair
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.
