Robert Cezarescu raised to 30,000 and Marco Leonzio flat-called behind before Kevin O'Donnell went all in from the big blind for 137,000 more. Cezarescu got out of the way but Leonzio called, and they were on their backs.

Board:
Leonzio looked quite emotional as he flopped a set - after losing so much of his stack with a set just previously, he was about to get most of it back. O'Donnell, however, was going to bust out.
"Thanks," said O'Donnell inexplicably. The affable American shook hands with his assassin and eventually stood up. "Right," he decided, "The walk of shame. Good luck, all."
Since halving his stack earlier, Sam Trickett has been pushing to rebuild it. In five hands watched just now, he raised preflop every single time. The first hand, Jensen threebet him and he let it go, but he won the next ones (three preflop, one on the turn) winning over 65k without real threat to his remaining four chip towers. Heading for the right side of 400k.
Martin Jacobson's giant stack casts a shadow (literally) over everyone else at Table 3. Rob Hollink just found out that the hard way that Jacobson will not be relinquishing a hand easily.
Jacobson opened to 26,000 from the cutoff before Hollink made it 63,000 on the button, Jacobson now made it 163,000 and the Dutchman and only remaining EPT champion still in the tournament was forced to give up his hand.
Straight after the break, Konsta Vesterinen raised preflop and called the short-stacked shove of Claudio Cecchi. The Italian was slightly ahead with against and stayed that way until the river card of the board. Vesterinen caught the river to boost his stack to 850,000.
Grzegorz Cichocki opened to 36,000 from the cutoff and Sam Trickett moved all-in from the big blind for about 400,000, Cichocki thought for several minutes before calling for almost all his stack.

The following hand he shoved again, called by Trickett and the big blind. The board of was checked to the river where Trickett bet 16,000 and the big blind folded. Cichocki showed but he'd been rivered by his foe's and was knocked out in 20th place.
