WPT Cambodia Championship ($3,500)

Raffaele Sorrentino is all in from the big blind for about 100,000 with A♥ J♠ , and needs to improve to stay alive against the A♦ Q♥ of Supakit Anukoolpitaknil, who is UTG+1.

The board comes J♣ T♦ 5♦ T♥ Q♠ , and Sorrentino pairs his jack on the flop, only to see Anukoolpitaknil pair his queen on the river. Anukoolpitaknil wins the pot to eliminate Sorrentino in 49th place.

In the fourth hand of hand-for-hand play, Renat Bohdanov opens and Raffaele Sorrentino three-bets to 48,000 two seats over. Bohdanov then jams for 406,000 and Sorrentino snap-calls. They have to wait until all other tables are completed before the showdown proceeds.

Renat Bohdanov: T♥ 9♥

Raffaele Sorrentino: K♥ K♣

The fifty big blind steal finds a fortunate ending as the J♥ 9♣ 3♠ 9♠ 2♣ board improves Bohdanov to trips for the double.

In the meanwhile, Konstantin Held emerges from his undercover run and nearly doubles the stack he started with so far, now sitting between Hugues Girard and Ngoc Ha Nguyen. The same table has already lost Joris Michl and Dhaval Mudgal.

On the river 4♥ , Sorrentino leads out 10,500 and wins the pot with no callers.

Sorrentino is dragging in the chips, Syzghanov ask what he had, Sorrentino says "Ten-Ten", this gets a laugh from Syzghanov who asks again a few minutes later and Sorrentino laughs while giving the same answer.
