Miracle River for Soverel
Level 8
: Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante
Jason Koon opened to 16,000 from early position before Sam Soverel three-bet to 48,000 from the cutoff, and Koon called.
On the A♠Q♠2♣ flop, Koon checked in flow to Soverel who bet 36,000. Koon then check-raised to 110,000, and Soverel called.
The turn brought the 3♣ as Koon led all-in for 269,000 effective as the covering stack, and Soverel grimaced as he quickly put in the call.
Sam Soverel: A♦K♦ 
Jason Koon: A♥Q♦
Koon flopped top two pair and was primed for the elimination as Soverel had just three outs. However, the K♥ magically appeared on the river as Soverel was able to survive as Koon falls below seven figures for the first time in several levels.
