in the big blind and put in a three-bet to 1.4 million. Akkari stared his foe down but eventually released.
Hand #8: Sorensson had 
in the small blind and decided to fold, and Brian Kaufman took it down with pocket threes.
Hand #9: Kaufman was dealt another pair, this time 
in the small blind. Raffaele Sorrentino put in a raise to 750,000 with 
. Kaufman kept it cagey and called. The 
flop helped both players, and Kaufman checked. Sorrentino bet another 750,000 and Kaufman slid in a quick call. The turn brought the 
and two checks. The 
river prompted some aggression finally from Kaufman, 975,000. Sorrentino paid it off immediately.
