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.

Zychowski folded, but Voegele had an easy call to make.
