Hands #7-9: Quads Cause Sorrentino to Lose Chip Lead

Level 33 : 125,000/250,000, 25,000 ante

Hand #7: Andre Akkari raised on the button with {10-Diamonds}{2-Diamonds} to 550,000. Sebastian Sorensson picked up {a-Spades}{q-Clubs} in the big blind and put in a three-bet to 1.4 million. Akkari stared his foe down but eventually released.

Hand #8: Sorensson had {2-Spades}{2-Clubs} in the small blind and decided to fold, and Brian Kaufman took it down with pocket threes.

Hand #9: Kaufman was dealt another pair, this time {j-Spades}{j-Clubs} in the small blind. Raffaele Sorrentino put in a raise to 750,000 with {k-Hearts}{q-Spades}. Kaufman kept it cagey and called. The {10-Clubs}{j-Hearts}{k-Spades} flop helped both players, and Kaufman checked. Sorrentino bet another 750,000 and Kaufman slid in a quick call. The turn brought the {j-Diamonds} and two checks. The {3-Clubs} river prompted some aggression finally from Kaufman, 975,000. Sorrentino paid it off immediately.
