Soverel and Furth Chop Up Sternheimer's Chips
Philip Sternheimer raised to 250,000 from middle position and Bruno Furth called from the hijack. Sam Soverel squeezed to 460,000 from the cutoff with just 65,000 behind. When it got back to Sternheimer, he made it 775,000, before Furth potted it to 2,935,000. Soverel called for the remainder of his stack, and the action was back on Sternheimer.
Furth had 2,785,000 behind and if Sternheimer were to call, it would make it the biggest pot of the tournament so far. After thinking for a while, Sternheimer had the clock called on him by Furth. Not too long after, Sternheimer folded and the cards were turned over with Soverel at risk
Sam Soverel: K♣K♦8♥3♦ 
Bruno Furth: A♣A♥9♠2♣
Soverel was up against Furth's aces and looked likely to be heading to the rail. However, the board ran out A♠6♦5♣2♦9♣, giving Furth a set to win the high, while Soverel had an eight-six low, meaning they chopped up the pot.
