: 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante
Hand #151: Ben Heath was first to act and opened for 575,000. Over in the small blind, Sam Soverel three-bet to 1.5 million. Big blind Lichtenberger folded right away. Heath shoved for 2.15 million effectively and Soverel called for the 650,000 he had behind.

Sam Soverel: 
The flop of 
made for a lot of potential for Soverel with his pair outs now complemented by a gutshot and flush draw.
The 
turn and 
river, though, brought no help to Soverel and he exited in third place for $640,924. A total of $1,484,085 awaits the winner with both players having already locked up $917,232.
