Azoulay Catches Fortunate River
Level 11
: Blinds 1,000/2,500, 2,500 ante
Picking up the action on the turn, Jonathan Azoulay on the button was involved in a hand with Sam Soverel in the big blind. With the board reading 8♥J♦K♥2♦ Soverel checked. Azoulay counted out a bet of 17,000 only to see Soverel raise all in with the covering stack. Azoulay did not appear all that comfortable with the situation but did call off his remaining 107,000 to put himself at risk.
Jonathan Azoulay: K♣9♣
Sam Soverel: J♠2♠
Soverel had turned two pair to leave Azoulay in rough shape. The at risk player was already packing up and getting ready to leave but the K♠ hit the felt on the river to improve Azoulay to trips and hand him the pot.
