Soverel Coolered Out

Stewart Morrison

Level 24 : Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante

In the final hand of the previous level, Sam Soverel raised to 140,000 under the gun, and Krasimir Yankov called in the big blind.

Yankov led out for pot on a 8♣10♦J♦ flop, betting 340,000. Soverel responded by moving all in for 485,000, and Yankov wasted no time calling.

Sam Soverel: A♣K♦9♠7♣ All in
Krasimir Yankov: Q♣9♥6♥4♣

Both players had flopped a straight, but crucially Yankov had the higher end of it.

There was no relief for Soverel on the A♥ turn or 3♠ river, and he was eliminated in 14th place.
