Both players checked the river and Akkari took it down.

Hand #45: Brian Kaufman came in for the minimum with {q-Clubs}{10-Clubs} first to act. Sorrentino came along with a hand that contained the {k-Spades}. Akkari completed with {q-Hearts}{5-Clubs}. Sorensson made it 1 million with {6-Hearts}{6-Clubs} in the big blind. Kaufman and Sorrentino came along, and the flop came {2-Hearts}{j-Clubs}{4-Hearts}.

Sorensson checked, Kaufman bet 1,275,000, and Sorrentino folded. Sorensson followed suit after a few moments.
