Soverel sized up to 200,000 on the turn 9♦ and Foxen called.
Both players checked the river 8♥ and Soverel flashed an A♥. Foxen tabled 7♥7♠ for sixes full of sevens and it was good for the pot.

Martin Zamani limped under the gun, Zdenek Zizka limped the hijack, Christopher Nguyen completed from the small blind, and David Chen checked his option in the big blind.
On the 9♠7♠5♣ flop, it checked to Zamani who bet 80,000 and Zizka called. Nguyen then check-raised to 280,000 and Chen folded. Zamani then announced all-in for 430,000 and Zizka flatted with 440,000 behind. Nguyen went deep into the tank before he announced all-in as the covering stack. However, since Zamani's all-in was not a full raise, Nguyen could only call.
On the J♥ turn, Nguyen jammed as Zizka called off his 440,000 stack.
Martin Zamani: 7♦7♣
Zdenek Zizka: A♠8♠
Christopher Nguyen: 10♠5♠
Zamani flopped a set while Zizka had the nut flush draw. Nguyen had a lesser flush draw but he also paired his five.
The J♣ fell on the river to give Zamani a full house to win the main pot, while Nguyen's pair of fives was good enough to win the side pot and eliminate Zizka.
