Soverel Barrel Gets it Done

Level 9 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

Sam Soverel raised to 11,000 in middle position, and only Stian Usterud called in the small blind.

Usterud checked on the J810 flop, and called when Soverel continued with a bet of 12,000.

The 4 turn saw Usterud check for a second time, but this time he folded when Soveral barrelled for 28,000.
