Gkatzas Boats Up on the River to Sink Sorainen’s Straight
Level 23
: Blinds 10,000/25,000, 25,000 ante
The action folded to Luka Sorainen in the small blind, and he limped in, prompting Dimitrios Gkatzas to check his option in the big blind.
The flop came 9?10?9?, and Sorainen led out for 25,000. Gkatzas responded with a raise to 80,000, and Sorainen made the call.
The 6? landed on the turn, and after Sorainen checked, Gkatzas moved all-in. With a stack of around 400,000, Sorainen snap-called.
Luka Sorainen: 8?7?
Dimitrios Gkatzas: 9?4?
Gkatzas had flopped trips, but Sorainen's turned straight put him in a prime position for a double-up. However, the river still held potential drama, and it delivered as the 4? gave Gkatzas a full house. An unfortunate river for Sorainen, whose tournament run ended in 30th.
