Sormunen in the Chip Lead

Level 10 : 600/1,200, 1,200 ante

Joao Barbosa raised to 2,800 from the hijack and was called by Per Sormunen in the big blind.

The flop came {2-Diamonds}{4-Diamonds}{7-Hearts}, Sormunen checked, Barbosa bet 3,700 and Sormunen put in a stack of 5,000-chips to put Barbosa at risk who called for the 40,000 he had behind.

Joao Barbosa: {9-Hearts}{9-Diamonds}
Per Sormunen: {7-Diamonds}{6-Clubs}

Barbosa held the overpair while Sormunen had hit a pair of sevens.

The rest of the board was completed with the {5-Diamonds} on the turn and the {7-Clubs} on the river to give Sormunen trip sevens to eliminate Barbosa.
