Miracle River for Soverel

Level 8 : Blinds 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jason Koon opened to 16,000 from early position before Sam Soverel three-bet to 48,000 from the cutoff, and Koon called.

On the AQ2 flop, Koon checked in flow to Soverel who bet 36,000. Koon then check-raised to 110,000, and Soverel called.

The turn brought the 3 as Koon led all-in for 269,000 effective as the covering stack, and Soverel grimaced as he quickly put in the call.

Sam Soverel: AK All in
Jason Koon: AQ

Koon flopped top two pair and was primed for the elimination as Soverel had just three outs. However, the K magically appeared on the river as Soverel was able to survive as Koon falls below seven figures for the first time in several levels.
