Defending Champ Has Some Work To Do
With the television cameras watching his every move, Dominik Panka raised the 2,100 opener from Raffaele Sorrentino to 4,800. The rest of the players at the table folded and Sorrentino made the call.
The flop came 
and both players checked. They would repeat that on the 
turn.
The river was the 
and Sorrentino, breathing heavy, a tan scarf wrapped around his neck, put out a bet of 5,100. Panka, the defending champion of this event, peered over at his foe and scratched the area above his upper lip and then pulled lightly on his lower lip. A look of resignation and his cards were in the muck as he queried Sorrentino about what he had.
Panka had 30,000 after the hand — still no reason to panic — but definitely some work to do if he is going to make a run at defending his title.
