Raffaele Sorrentino: 
Sebastian Sorensson: 
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 
flop, nor the 
turn. The river was the 
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.
