Soverel Over King

Lasell King and Sam Soverel had already built a sizable pot by the time the flop came {7-Hearts}{3-Clubs}{J-Hearts}. King led for 182,000, and Soverel sat quietly for a few moments before calling. The turn was the {8-Spades} and King quickly checked. Soverel asked King what he had left behind — about 750,000 — then checked as well.

The river brought the {A-Hearts} and checks from both. Soverel showed his hand — {J-Spades}{10-Spades} — and King nodded and pushed his to the dealer.
