Obst's River Check-Raise Fails

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante

On a hand that extended well into the break, James Obst raised to 72,000 from the small blind and Kenny Hallaert called from the big blind.

They checked to the turn of a {10-Spades}{8-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Spades} board where Obst bet 75,000. Hallaert called to see the {A-Hearts} river. Obst checked, Hallaert bet 130,000, Obst check-raised to 650,000, and Hallaert called after about two minutes.

Obst showed {Q-Hearts}{10-Diamonds} for tens and eights, but Hallaert tabled {A-Clubs}{7-Hearts} for aces and eights to win the pot.

Sam Soverel

Sam Soverel opened for 55,000 first to act and called a three-bet to 155,000 from Nadar Kakhmazov on his left. They checked down {3-Spades}{10-Clubs}{5-Hearts}{q-Hearts}{6-Spades}, and Soverel showed down {k-}{k-}, having been unable to induce any action postflop.

Just after that, Soverel was staring at a board of {4-Clubs}{k-Hearts}{5-Clubs}{4-Hearts} in a battle of blinds against Chris Hunichen. Hunichen bet 62,000, and Soverel popped it to 200,000. Hunichen thought a bit and folded, and Soverel is now approaching 3 million.

Jacob Haller Eliminated in 9th Place ($42,512)

Level 24 : 12,000/24,000, 4,000 ante
Jacob Haller - 9th Place
Jacob Haller - 9th Place

Jacob Haller defended his big blind from Sam Soverel's under-the-gun open. On a {7-Clubs}{2-Clubs}{5-Diamonds} flop, Haller checked. Soverel continued for 45,000 and Haller put in a small check-raise to 105,000. Soverel studied his opponent awhile, then slid in 245,000. After getting the count, Haller announced he was all in. It looked to be about 800,000 and Soverel called without much delay.

Soverel: {a-Clubs}{a-Diamonds}
Haller: {8-Spades}{7-Spades}

Haller needed help and the {j-Hearts} did not provide any. It would need to be a seven or eight on the river, but a {10-Clubs} arrived to send the pot to Soverel.
