Soverel Spikes the River to Double
Level 9
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Soverel moved all in for 151,000 from the big blind and was up against Philip Sternheimer in the hijack.
Sam Soverel: 5♦5♠
Philip Sternheimer: J♥J♦
The 4♦6♦7♦ flop gave Soverel a number of additional outs as he now had a straight flush draw. Soverel began rubbing his hands together and placed his 5♦ by the board as the dealer turned over the 2♣.
The river, though, came the 5♥ and Soverel hit a set to double up and leave Sternheimer as an extreme short stack.
