Raffaele Sorrentino Eliminated in 3rd Place (€850,110)

Level 38 : 400,000/800,000, 100,000 ante

Raffaele Sorrentino

Hand #118: Sebastian Sorensson raised to 3,900,000 from the small blind. Raffaele Sorrentino shoved 14,200,000 from the big blind. Sorensson thought around a minute before calling.

Raffaele Sorrentino: {A-Hearts}{Q-Diamonds}
Sebastian Sorensson: {3-Diamonds}{3-Spades}

The Monte-Carlo champion was at risk and slightly behind. He needed to hit and improve to keep his dream of winning two PokerStars Championship Main Events alive.

Sorrentino didn't get any help on the {6-Clubs}{6-Diamonds}{2-Hearts} flop, nor the {7-Diamonds} turn. The river was the {J-Hearts} and Sorrentino's hand remained second best.

An amazing second deep run saw Sorrentino banking €850,110 for his 3rd place finish. With the cash, the 37-year old Italian nearly doubled his score from Monte-Carlo.
