Sam Soverel Eliminated In 8th Place ($29,028)
Level 14
: Blinds 0/0, 4,000 ante
In a heads-up pot with close to 100,000 in the middle on a flop showing Q♦J♦J♠, Sam Soverel checked from early position to Nobuaki Sasaki in the cutoff who bet 35,000. Soverel announced all in for 335,000 and Sasaki quickly called to put Soverel at risk.
Sam Soverel: K♠J♣
Nobuaki Sasaki: Q♥J♥
Both players flopped three jacks, but it was the full house for Sasaki that was well out front. The board ran out 6♥A♦ and the boat for Sasaki held up to send Soverel to the payout desk in eighth place.
