Sartori Stumbles

Tom Sartori certainly isn't shying away from the action in the levels following the dinner break. In a recent pot, Matt Sterling raises the action to 1,800, and Rob Quin makes the call. Sartori is next to act, and he puts in a reraise, making it 5,000 to play. Sterling folds, but Quin sticks around to see a flop of {K-Hearts}{10-Spades}{J-Hearts}.

In an act of aggression, Quin comes out firing with his whole stack, shoving 18,000 in chips into the pot, and putting himself at risk of elimination. Sartori thinks for just a few brief moments before calling the bet. His {A-Diamonds}{K-Spades} gives him top pair, top kicker, but he is in trouble against the {J-Spades}{J-Clubs}, making a set of jacks for Rob Quin. The turn and river, {8-Diamonds}{7-Spades}, fail to help Sartori, and Quin doubles up to around 50,000. Sartori is hurting, down under 20,000.
