The nearest challenger to Raffaele Sorrentino for most of the final table, Dimitrios Farmakoulis lost a hand on either side of Level 26 and is below 30 big blinds as a result.
Paul Hoefer raised under the gun to 65,000 and Farmakoulis called on his direct left. The two players checked the J♣9♥4♥ flop and Hoefer bet 115,000 on the 7♦ turn. Farmakoulis called and they both checked the Q♦ river. Hoefer rolled over K♥J♥ and that got Farmakoulis to muck. Hoefer is playing 975,000.
Farmakoulis limped the small blind and Sorrentino checked his option. Farmakoulis checked the Q♠9♥8♥ flop and Sorrentino bet 65,000. Farmakoulis called and then bet 150,000 on the 5♦ turn. Sorrentino called and the 7♠ river went check-check.
Farmakoulis showed Q♣10♥ but Sorrentino’s Q♥9♠ took down the pot. Sorrentino is playing 6,755,000 and Farmakoulis is down to 1,200,000.
