Final Table Action
Soverel began the final table with nearly half the chips in play with his nearest opponents in Dylan Weisman and Marc Brody beginning with less than half of his stack. Jordan Cristos, Maxx Coleman, and Matthew Ploof all came in with short stacks of around 15 big blinds each.
Coleman (fifth - $52,000) and Ploof (sixth - $39,000) were unable to gain any momentum and were the first two players eliminated at the final table by Soverel.
Weisman was the next to go in fourth place for $65,000. He got most of his stack in preflop with ace-king-nine-eight against Soverel's jack-ten-ten-seven. The rest went in on the queen-six-four flop with neither player holding a flush draw. Soverel's tens held and Weisman's day was done.
Cristos then ousted Brody in third place for $84,500 when his king-nine-eight-four improved to a full house against Brody's ace-ten-nine-seven.
Soverel began heads-up play with a 2:1 chip advantage against Cristos. According to the Poker Central Blog, Soverel continued to pound away at his opponent leaving Cristos with just 17 big blinds to Soverel's 63 big blinds.
During the last hand of play, Soverel with ten-nine-seven-four defended an open by Cristos with ace-jack-four-deuce. Soverel check-called a bet by Cristos on the ace-nine-seven flop. Another seven paired the board on the turn and Soverel checked before he called a jam by Cristos for about two-thirds the pot. Cristos was drawing dead and was eliminated in second place for $130,000.
