Lutz Klinkhammer
The chip lead of Raffaele Sorrentino continues to grow and he is now playing roughly half of the chips at the final table following his elimination of Lutz Klinkhammer.
Klinkhammer opened to 65,000 in early position and Sorrentino three-bet to 175,000 on his direct left. Klinkhammer called and checked the 8♠5♣4♦ flop. Sorrentino bet 155,000 and Klinkhammer called after a minute. The turn was the 6♣ and Klinkhammer checked again.
Sorrentino put Klinkhammer to the ultimate test with an effective shove for 725,000. Klinkhammer called with Q♣Q♥ and would have to fade the many outs of Sorrentino K♣3♣. The A♣ river gave Sorrentino a flush, the bounty, and the pot. He has 5,250,000 in front of him with the rest of the table all under 1,200,000 except Dimitrios Farmakoulis, who is playing 1,500,000.
