Miscounted But Doubled Nonetheless

Level 7 : Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Sam Soverel opened to 20,000 on the button, and when the small blind got out of the way, Ren Lin slid a stack of chips into the middle, covering Soverel's stack.

Soverel took his time in making a decision, utilising two time extensions while letting Lin know that he actually thought he had 260,000 in his stack, not 160,000. Ultimately, he opted to call.

Sam Soverel: A5 All in
Ren Lin: 33

The 85Q flop fired Soverel into the lead, and he stayed there, earning a double up, when the 8 turn and 6 river completed the board.
