Sorrentino Survives on the River
Level 24
: Blinds 25,000/50,000, 50,000 ante
Raffaele Sorrentino bet 80,000 from the cutoff on a flop of 10♣2♠8♠ and Bogdan Chornyy called in the big blind.
The turn was the J♣ and Chornyy led out for 250,000. Sorrentino then moved all in for 800,000, and Chornyy snap-called.
Sorrentino had K♣Q♠ and needed to improve as Chornyy showed 9♦7♦ for a straight. The 9♥ came on the river to give Sorrentino a higher straight and earn him the double-up.
