Big Double Up for Sorrentino
Douglas Ferreira Souza opened under the gun for 57,000 and got called in 2 spots: Raffaele Sorrentino on the button and Bertrand Grospellier in the big blind.
Grospellier checked on 
and initial raiser Souza bet 74,000. Sorrentino called, Grospellier folded.
Souza bet another 148,000 on the 
turn and Sorrentino called again.
As the 
completed the board, Souza shoved all in. Sorrentino had 430,000 behind and was facing the biggest decision of his tournament life. He tanked for a long time and the clock was called on him.
When the tournament director started counting down, Sorrentino still didn't seem too sure of what to do. With 2 seconds left to act, Sorrentino smashed some chips in the pot to call.
"Good call!" said Souza before showing 
. Sorrentino slammed 
on the table and started collecting.
