Level 23
: Blinds 15,000/30,000, 30,000 ante
Anthony Kennedy raised to 60,000 from early position and Raffaele Sorrentino called from the cutoff.
The flop came 7♣5♦2♦ and Kennedy continued for 50,000, which Sorrentino called.
On the turn 2♥, Kennedy continued once more for 145,000 and Sorrentino went into the tank before putting in the call.
On the 4♣ river, Kennedy moved all in for 750,000 effective and Sorrentino called immediately.
Raffaele Sorrentino: 2♣2♠
Anthony Kennedy: 4♦4♥
Kennedy had boated up on the river to make fours full of twos, but he was drawing dead after Sorrentino had turned quad twos, allowing him to take down a massive pot against the Day 1a leader.

Peter Zolnai opened to 45,000 from early position and called when Lucas Sfez three-bet to 140,000.
Zolnai opted to lead for 40,000 on the 7♣3♣2♥ flop and called again when Sfex made it 150,000.
Zolnai continued to fire for 100,000 and called once more when Sfez raised too 390,000 on the 6♣ turn.
Zolnai then slowed down on the K♠ river and checked. Sfez emptied the clip for 530,000 total. Zolnai covered him but went deep into the tank.
Several minutes passed by before the clock was called, but as soon as the TD approached the table, Zolnai committed his stack.
Sfez sheepishly showed J♥10♣ for complete air. Zolnai had just a pair of fives with his 5♥5♦ and scooped in the biggest pot of the day.
