Soverel Folds Trips, Allegedly

Frank Visser

Level 16 : Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante

In a hand that lasted well into the previous break, Sam Soverel had bet 70,000 into a pot of 200,000 from the cutoff. The flop read A?7?2? and Jonas Kronwitter had checked from the big blind while Chance Kornuth had done the same from under the gun. Koronwitter called and Kornuth folded before the 9? turn was dealt.

That turn then went check-check and Kronwitter led out for 285,000 once the A? river fell. Soverel used three time bank extensions while all the players around him stood up to take their break. Eventually, however, he would join them when he threw his cards into the muck, claiming to have folded AxQ?Jx10x.
