Soverel Gets Tricky on the River
Level 12
: Blinds 3,000/6,000, 6,000 ante
Action folded to Daniel Barriocanal in late position who opened to 14,000. Sam Soverel called from the small blind and Stephen Chidwick called in the big blind.
The 10♠7♣5♣ flop landed and action checked through. The J♠ landed on the turn and Soverel opted to lead for 22,000. Chidwick folded and Barriocanal called.
The 6♥ landed on the river and Soverel now opted to slow down and check. Barriocanal thought it over for a moment but eventually decided to check it back. Soverel quickly tabled Q♥10♥9♥8♦ for the nut straight and Barriocanal sent his cards to the muck.
