Soma Makes a Hero Call
Niveau 19
: Blinds 10,000/15,000, 15,000 ante
Leo Soma, who won his first bracelet in last year's $1,500 Six-Handed No-Limit Hold'em event, opened to 40,000 from the hijack and received calls from a player on the button and David Eldridge in the big blind.
The flop came 2♣5♣4♥ and action checked around to Soma, who made a continuation bet of 45,000. Eldridge put in a check-raise to 135,000, folding out the big blind while Soma made the call.
On the 10♥ turn Eldridge bet 200,000. Soma once again made the call.
The river was the 9♦. Eldridge moved all in, covering Soma's remaining stack of 280,000. Soma thought about his decision for about a minute before putting in the call.
Eldridge tabled 8♣7♥ for a bluff while Soma revealed 6♦6♥ for a just a small pair to secure a big double up.
