Sam Soverel Eliminated in 6th Place ($218,297)
Level 30
: Blinds 100,000/200,000, 200,000 ante
Peng Shan raised to 500,000 in the cutoff and fellow shorter stack Sam Soverel defended out of the big blind.
They headed to the J?10?6? flop on which Soverel bet the pot for 1,300,000. Shan moved all-in and Soverel called with the inferior stack.
Sam Soverel: Q?9?8?7?
Peng Shan: K?J?10?9?
Shan was narrowly ahead with the top two pair and a gutshot while Soverel and a wrap and flush draw.
"It's a pure flip," Arthur Morris said in table chat as all players were on their feet to witness the showdown.
The 4? turn gave Soverel another gutshot on top but he missed all of his plenty outs when the 6? river paired the board. Soverel, who had started the day second in chips, has been eliminated in 6th place for $218,297.
