[user76023]

Allan Baekke called a raise in the small blind from Fabrizio Ascari who had made it 45,000 on the button. The flop came {Q-Hearts}

and Baekke checked, Ascari quickly moved all-in, Baekke sighed, rechecked his cards and called.

Baekke: {K-Clubs}

Ascari:

The turn was the {9-Clubs}

and the river {8-Clubs}

meant Ascari missed his monster draw and was the first casualty of the day.

Level: 21

Blinds: 8,000/16,000

Ante: 2,000

Welcome back to the glamorous and sunny Casino San Remo, where things are beginning to get very serious.

After five levels of absolute carnage yesterday, only 66 players remain with the bubble well and truly history. Every player left in the field is guaranteed €13,000 now - but there's a whole world of difference between that and the €1,250,000 up for grabs for first place.

Judging by how things have been going this week, we are predicting a super-fast day. We will be playing down to 24 players today, and don't think it's going to take very long at all.

Chip leader right now is Jakob Karlsson. The young Swede leads the field on 1.8 million. However, still in contention are EP Snowfest winner Allan Bække, EPT Baden winner Thang Duc Nguyen, and serial winner of various things Nick Schulman. Play is due to start shortly, so please stand by.
