Hands #25-28: Aces Versus Aces
Hand #25: Ben Heath limped in from the small blind and big blind Chance Kornuth checked. Heath checked on and Kornuth took down the pot with a bet of 120,000 as Heath folded.
Hand #26: Dmitry Yurasov raised to 175,000 under the gun plus one and everyone folded.
Hand #27: Yurasov, now under the gun, made it 175,000 once more and picked up the blinds and ante as everyone folded again.
Hand #28: Andrew Lichtenberger opened under the gun plus one for 160,000 and Ben Heath in the hijack called. Sam Soverel three-bet to 875,000 from the button with 730,000 behind. Small blind Elio Fox, Soverel's neighbor, thought about it for a bit before he four-bet to 2,065,000.
The big blind, Lichtenberger, and Heath all folded right away, Soverel was quick to call all in.
Sam Soverel:
Elio Fox:
While Soverel said he didn't have a good feeling about it, he was freerolling after the flop. The turn made for a definite chop, the on the river was there just for good measure.
