Soverel Continues to Climb
Level 26
: Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante
Sam Soverel opened to 160,000 from the button and Leonard Maue defended from the big blind.
Both players checked the 2♦8♠9♣ flop leading to the 6♥ turn. Maue bet 300,000 and Soverel called.
Maue continued for 650,000 on the 2♣ river. Soverel contemplated for a couple of minutes before calling again.
Maue could only show J♠7♠ for a missed straight draw, turned into a bluff. Soverel tabled 8♦5♠ for just second pair to win the hand.
