Level 32 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 6,000 ante

Sam Soverel opened to 120,000 from the hijack with J?10? and it folded to Aleksejs Ponakovs in the small blind with A?9?, who put in a three-bet to 420,000. Soverel made the call and the flop fanned out J?10?6?.

Ponakovs missed the flop and checked over to Soverel, who bet out 270,000. Ponakovs took a few seconds, but in the end tossed his cards in the muck and another pot was sent to the chip leader Soverel.

Level 32 : Blinds 30,000/60,000, 6,000 ante

Yuval Bronshtein raised to 125,000 from the cutoff with A?Q? and Sam Soverel called on the button holding A?9?.

The flop came J?4?2? and Bronshtein bet another 85,000. Soverel called with ace-high as the 2? fell on the turn.

Bronshtein checked and Soverel bet 215,000. Bronshtein, with the nut-flush draw, peeked back at his cards before calling to the K? river, where he checked again.

Soverel checked behind and Bronshtein took the pot with his queen-kicker.

Yuval Bronshtein opened the action to 125,000 from the hijack with A?10? and Sam Soverel three-bet to 350,000 on the button holding K?Q?. The rest of the table got out of the way and Bronshtein made the call.
