David Salituro

Level 33 : 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Guillaume Nolet raised to 600,000 in the hijack and Marco Gambini called in the cutoff, as did Elie Saad and Atanas Malinov in the blinds.

All four players checked the J♦3♠4♠ flop. The turn was the 2♥ and Saad moved all in for 2,450,000. Malinov called, while Nolet and Gambini both folded.

Saad showed 3♥3♦ for a set and Malinov turned over J♠10♠ for a pair and flush draw. The river was the 5♠ and Malinov completed his flush to send Saad to the rail in eighth place.

"If I push on the flop, do you call?" Saad asked Malinov on his way to the exit and Malinov nodded as he stacked up the pot.

Sava Krink

Level 33 : Blinds 125,000/250,000, 250,000 ante

Gabi Livshitz made a bold move by pushing all in from middle position, prompting Federico Macori in the big blind, who had few chips remaining, to make the call.

Kin Hang Man: A♥3♥ All in
Atanas Malinov: J♦6♦

The flop came 4♠J♠Q♥ and Malinov took the lead with a pair of jacks. The J♣ turn improved Malinov to trips and Man was already drawing dead by the 8♥ river.

Alisa Sibgatova Eliminated in 14th Place (€14,960); Pierre Basile Eliminated in 13th Place (€17,950)

David Salituro

Level 30 : Blinds 60,000/120,000, 120,000 ante

Marco Gambini raised to 250,000 in middle position before Alisa Sibgatova moved all in for 720,000 in the hijack. Pierre Basile then reraised to 1,200,000 in the small blind.

Gambini didn't realize Basile had raised and just put in the chips to call Sibgatova. He was forced to put in the extra chips and they saw a flop of 9♠6♠5♣.

Basile then moved all in for 4,000,000 and Gambini snap-called.

Alisa Sibgatova: Q♦10♦ All in
Pierre Basile: 10♥10♣ All in
Marco Gambini: 3♣3♦

Basile was ahead with his pair of tens and poised to scoop the massive pot as the A♠ fell on the turn. The river, though, was the 3♠ and Gambini again spiked a two-outer on the river as he pounded the table in celebration and shot out of his seat.

A shocked Basile headed for the rail amidst a stream of profanity while Gambini, who was down to just 300,000 at one point today, took the tournament chip lead.

Remy Murcia: A♥10♣

Alessandro Merelli: Q♠J♠ All in
Atanas Malinov: A♥A♣
