Soverel Smacks the Flop to Double
Level 17
: Blinds 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Sam Soverel raised to 35,000 under the gun and Ali Abduljabbar potted in the hijack. "Oh man, I might be drawing dead. Even with four big blinds it might not be so bad," Soverel said before tossing in his last 6,000.
Sam Soverel: A♣K♥K♦Q♥7♠
Ali Abduljabbar: A♠A♥10♦9♥4♥
"It's way better than I thought it would be," tablemate Tyler Brown said when Soverel revealed his cards. He was still dominated by Abduljabbar's aces, but the Q♦10♣J♠ flop gave him a straight and the lead. The rest of the board ran out 8♦9♠ and Soverel doubled up.
