Level 26 : Blinds 40,000/80,000, 80,000 ante

Mike Watson opened from under the gun and Sam Soverel defended from the big blind.

The flop came 4♣J♥5♦ and Soverel check-called a 110,000 bet from Watson.

Soverel checked again on the 6x turn and Watson bet 130,000. Soverel shoved with a covering stack and Watson called, putting himself at risk.

Mike Watson: A♠A♥ All in
Sam Soverel: 6♥4♣

Soverel had turned two pair to crack Watson's aces. The 8♦ river changed nothing for either player and Watson was eliminated in brutal fashion while Soverel recouped most of the chips he had lost during the previous level.

Isaac Kempton raised to 120,000 before Yuliyan Kolev raised all-in for 430,000. Kempton called to put Kolev at risk.

Yuliyan Kolev: A♣K♦ All in
Isaac Kempton: K♣J♠

The 4♠7♦A♦ flop put Kolev firmly ahead, but the 10♠ turn offered some drama as it gave Kempton a gutshot straight draw.

Christian Zetzsche

Level 25 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 60,000 ante

Leonard Maue raised to 140,000 in the cutoff and Sam Soverel called out of the big blind. Both players checked the 7♠7♦6♣ flop and 5♠ turn to the 4♦ river on which Soverel check-called for 275,000 and mucked when he was shown the 10♣7♣ for trips sevens.

"I thought I was trapping you by just check-calling the turn," Soverel said among other things in table chat.

Soverel then raised the button to 125,000 and Maue defended the big blind. The flop came Q♥J♥2♥ and Maue check-raised from 75,000 to 200,000. Soverel reraised to 475,000 and Maue called. They checked the 9♥ turn and Maue bet the 4♥ river for 675,000, Soverel folded and mentioned he had let go of a flopped set of queens.

Soverel then won a pot post flop against Daniel Negreanu before opening to 125,000 from under the gun. Davide Suriano called in the big blind and check-called for 75,000 on the 9♥9♠8♠ flop. The 2♠ turn was checked and Suriano led the 9♣ river for 250,000 with 710,000 behind.

Soverel moved all-in with the far covering stack and while Suriano was in the tank, he asked "can I see your stack please" as Soverel was hiding the chips while receiving a table massage.

After a few minutes, Daniel Negreanu called the clock and Suriano folded the 10♣8♣ face-up with ten seconds left to act.
