Sgorrano Pays a Big Price For a Hero Call
Leon Zeaiter raised to 75,000 in the cutoff and Jerome Sgorrano called on the button.
Zeaiter checked the 9♦8♠2♠ flop and Sgorrano bet 65,000. Zeaiter then raised to 215,000 and Sgorrano called.
The turn was the A♦ and Zeaiter bet 400,000. Sgorrano called again to see the 4♥ river, where Zeaiter moved all in.
"Are you bluffing or not, my friend?" Sgorrano said as he went deep into the tank. He eventually emerged with a call and Zeaiter made sure he put the chips in before slamming down A♣A♥ for a set. Sgorrano mucked 10♠9♠ and Zeaiter doubled up.
"I have more time banks than chips," Sgorrano said as he put in his last 15,000 (less than the big blind) the next hand. Action folded to Malcolm Franchi in the big blind, who automatically put him at risk.
Jerome Sgorrano: J♦5♦ 
Malcolm Franchi: 10♣6♣
Franchi hit a pair and flush draw on the 6♥Q♣7♣ flop, but Sgorrano made a pair of jacks on the J♥ turn. The river was the 6♠ and Franchi improved to trips to send Sgorrano to the rail.
